The BBC and many other leaned organs report David Milliband's remarks saying that there is 'No proof' organic food is better.
I think that this is missing the point. It may well be the case that organic food is not better for the person consuming it, but it is unquestionably the case that it is better for the planet, probably better for the farm workers who no longer have to be exposed to the pesticides and other chemicals, and probably better for the animals who are treated so unpleasantly in intensive farming regimes. It is unfortunates that buying organic for such reasons requires a greater level of altruism than buying because it directly affects your health.
