Organics

    I was at the grocery one day when I came across a woman who was checking out her items. Organics beans, organic pizza, organic milk, organic this, organic that. I was confused. I didn't think people actually fell for that. Organics are as useless as erasable pens. Sure, they may be more expensive but that doesn't mean it's better for you.

    The thing that bugged me the most is that she bought "Smart Water". It's just H20 with buzz words. "Negative Ions", "Electrolytes", "Gigabytes"; who cares. Water is water, and there isn't anything you can do to change that. Same thing with chicken. Chicken is chicken. "Oh no, that chicken ate corn that has a modified gene so that it grows faster! It causes cancer!" Give me a break.

    You may ask for proof. Here it is. Amy E. Young reviewed 29 years of livestock productivity and health data from both before and after the introduction of genetically engineered animal feed. The field data represented more than 100 billion animals covering a period before 1996 when animal feed was 100% non-GMO, and after its introduction when it jumped to 90% and more.

    What did they find? That GM feed is safe and nutritionally equivalent to non-GMO feed. Considering the size of the dataset, it can reasonably be said that the debate over the impact of GE feed on animal health is closed: there is zero extraordinary impact. So go ahead and buy your "Smart Water". You are just filling up the piggy-banks of a bunch of money grubbers; it helps the economy.
