Warning: Talking about food might make you hungry. ;)

FUN FACT - According to Penn & Teller, non-organic food tastes better, is healthier, and is better on the environment than organic food.

Wow, Penn & Teller said something I partially agree with. Don't agree on the healthier part, but the flavor can be pretty much anything those scientists can cook up. lol

Well, if you watched that episode they do pull up some great facts though. They said that there is no scientific proof that organic food is more nutritious than non-organic food

And Organic food does use pesticides which can be more dangerous than non-organic food. Also, non-organic food can produce more food.

P&T stated that if the world switched to Organic Food, there would only be enough food to support around 4 billion people, meaning 2.5 billion people or so would starve

I've seen that P&T episode. They always make you think and question things that you're often told by authority on both sides of the aisle.

That's what I like about them. They basically tell you to think for yourself, that the media isn't all of what it's meant to be and stuff.
