Why This Mom Boycotts Organic and Will Never Shop at Whole Foods

2. Taste is, of course, subjective, and you have to go with your tastes.

I actually convinced myself that organic food tasted better back in the '90s. A few years ago, I did a bit of a "blind" taste test (my wife helped keep me blinded) with several veggies, and the results were pretty much 50/50. That's just my anecdote, of course, but...

As for Nye, the problem I see with his position is that it would apply equally to all types of seed development technology. And, interestingly, GE technology changes the few number of genes (by far), is more predictable than other types of seed development technology, and is studied much more. Yet, it seems that he is trying to make a stance within a vacuum that doesn't exist.

OTH, it would be very interesting and, yes, entertaining, to see Nye debate Kevin Folta.

Thanks for your constructive response! Have a great night!
