Keep Britain Green - Do your bit today!

The organic vs non-organic debate goes on....

As you may have seen in the press today an independent review of organic food said there was 'no evidence' to support buying organic food for nutritional reasons. Here's the link to the article;

"Anger as organic claims shot down"

Well, that's hardly surprising - a potato is a potato whether grown organically or not. The issue is not, and never has been, about the nutritional benefits or otherwise, of organic food.

The issue, at least as far as I'm concerned ( and plenty of other organic fans...) is about the chemicals used to grow non-organic food.

I like to know exactly what's in the food I eat - preferably nothing, except the food!

As is so often the case with Government-backed reports, they miss the important issues completely! ( If you have any doubts on this, just search google for reports on the Government's 'Twitter' guidelines for its departments!! Then make up your own minds!)

Organic is best, if you want to be sure of eating unadulterated fruit, veg & meat.
