Hate to say it but you are right about organic food getting an automatic thumbs up - I have been doing it myself.
I will spend more time reading on both sides of the argument in future. I am interested in sustainable results and have been favoring "Natural methods". I sincerely hope that Natural methods are the best way forward, but facts must over-ride beliefs whatever the case may be.
Food and water are the ultimate commodities - would like to be more clear about them.
