I love it when they jump to the "Oh, you must be Anti-Science" label. Like there's no "Bad science" or scientific failures. Remember thalidomine? Some good science there, right? Pregnant mothers were the lab rats with horrific results.
The studies aren't done yet. The data hasn't been sufficient to reach a conclusion. Which study is more valid? The one funded by the Chemical industry, or the one funded by the watchdog organizations? Do we just blindly move forward without knowing?
That's why I favor labeling. Let consumers decide what they want to eat and the market will adjust itself. I know there are people here that think eating pesticide free food is a marketing scam, and they have every right to their beliefs. Let them have that choice, and let me have mine.
I used to buy "white bread", because I had a hard time justifying paying three times as much for organic, whole grain, locally produced loaves. It was my wife that convinced me that it's better to eat real food and pay, rather than a cheap, processed food imitation and pay later.
