Michael Kelly Mort Kondracke Ch. I HAVE, sitting on my desk, a box of EnviroKidz Organic Gorilla Munch. You wouldn't think from looking at the cuddly simian on the box that this is one of the most egregious examples of dangerous propaganda in America. But it is.
Organic agriculture respects the land and the wild creatures who live on it.
Well, no, it wouldn't. In fact, it would be awful. Boosters claim with profound smugness that organic food is better tasting, better for you and better for the environment. All three of these assurances are bogus. People, however, are likely to say the organic stuff tastes better, but only if they know it's organic.
