Huh? From your own link

  • organic farmers use different kinds of pesticide if they use pesticide
  • they need to use non-pesticide methods first, and any pesticide use is heavily regulated
  • while some of the organic and limited synthetic pesticides could and do have potential human health implications, the vast majority of the synthetic pesticides used on conventional produce are widely recognized as probably having some damaging impacts on humans eating produce contaminated by them.

As a result

  • Conventional vegetables were contaminated with 2 to 17 times as many pesticides as were organic vegetables. Conventional fruits were contaminated with 6–75 times as many pesticides as organic fruits.
  • The dietary risk index was more than 50 times higher for conventional vegetables than for organic vegetables, and more than 130 times higher for conventional fruits.

Don't both sides this. The person saying buying organic is just raising your grocery bill without changing your pesticide exposure or risks is objectively, factually wrong.

    If you haven't studied this then trying a gotcha is pretty dumb.

    Slightly less exposure to chemicals and a higher impact on the environment isn't always the win you think it is.

    Don't turn this into a both sides issue. Stop carrying water for organic farming practices when you don't know what the fuck you are even talking about!

    uses facts from your own link that contradict the point you're trying to make

    It's funny how it's typically the ones with the flimsiest arguments that say shit like this.

    If you can't see the contradiction then you apparently didn't even read it.

    I can see you are unable to point out the contradiction.

    I guess I was right. Cheers!

    I see no need to point out what's already plain as day for everyone who reads this thread.

    I won't dance for you like a monkey wearing a vest, go play your tune somewhere else

    By leaving the top level comment?

    If that's what you mean by "started it," then whatever. You're beneath me.

    Again, scroll up to check which one of us left the top-level comment before arguing who replied to who.

    Either way, I'm no longer entertained, although it seems you still are. Can't say I envy you...
