Pros and cons of organic vs nonorganic?

Date sort Score sort
I don't hate you for that. Overpopulation is IMHO, the biggest problem. People with lots of kids will argue otherwise because there's room for everyone to stand side by side.
Even if there were enough space to grow food for all, we are supplanting many of the wildlife and vegetation that make the planet a nice and interesting place to live.

The question is, how do we thin the herd?

I'm not going to delve into the GM debate again. There are strong opinions on both sides that won't be swayed. I'm against GM crops. There are crazy talking people with some flawed logic but they are so vehemently supporting GMO that they don't see the forest for the trees.

A good question. After considerable consideration I have come up with several possible long term solutions. Unfortunately, the "every sperm is sacred" crowd. really hate them.

Sorry, didn't mean to highjack the thread.

what difference in overall bird health and egg quality/nutritive value will be apparent between feeding them organic versus conventional feed? What are the best feeds on both ends of the spectrum? And other than feed, what sort of foods and treats will the chicks get the most health benefits from?

Sooooo, after a few pages of rediculous ranting from several people who might not have read the question, of which the answer to them SPECIFICALLY would have been of great interest to me, I wonder.... did these actual questions ever get answered? I's sorry but somewhere a few pages of scanning for it in, I give up!
 
Personally, I don't think there can be a definitive answer for a minimum of three generations of humans. Short term studies on lab animals are worthless (Anyone besides me remember the Great Saccharin Scare of 1977?). There are currently three major groups; 1. The nature made good, man made bad crowd, 2. The science good, nature okay but can be improved on group and 3. The I just want something to eat gang.

Historical Sidebar-
Nothing new about this. In the 1600's science and religion pitted groups 1 and 2 against each other, while group 3 stood on the sidelines and watched.

It will be thus until we get to the point where Soylent Green is the norm.

There have been hundreds of studies on this - in the context of feeding animal livestock, you will see absolutely no difference.
