[QUOTE="martian, post: 352183, member: 801"] As I understand it, one of the founding principles of organic production revolves around the concept of health, starting with the soil and leading up through the plants grown and the animals husbanded to the humans who consume whatever is finally produced. The whole business of 'you can use this chemical, you can't use that one' is all a bit of a red-herring, as Will pointed out above, often based on little more than a hunch of the original pioneers. How to grow healthy plants that don't need constant dousing with fungicide/insecticide etc would seem to be a useful lesson we could take from the organic camp, ditto farm animals, cheaply pasture fed and not requiring endless jabbing and dosing. We are feeding our fellow citizens, it behoves us to give them the healthiest grub we can manage... [/QUOTE]
