Also keep in mind that people are poisoned by e-coli and salmonella not by organic food. These microorganisms come from unsafe handling/production practices and have no direct relation to organic food. Outbreaks of e-coli, salmonell, et al. can and do occur with regularity in both organic and (so called) conventional food production chains. Demonizing organic foods because of the unsafe handling/production practices by the producer/distributor is akin to demonizing transgenics because of the lies and deceptions of corporations decades ago (not that corporatioms stopped lying).
