Episode Synopsis "SkeptiQuartz #04: Organic Food"

A quick debunking of organic food; There is a video version available: http://youtu.be/issS3oHR4aI; Transcript: Hello, this is Ari here with episode 4 of SkeptiQuartz, my skeptical podcast. Today, we will be debunking organic food. Many people believe that organic food is healthier than conventional food, but this is simply not true. The food is identical, organics are just a more expensive and less fulfilling way to make the same food. Another common belief is that organic food is helping the environment. This is simply untrue. To fit the USDA's organic requirements, many farmers have to create new farmland, which means more deforestation. If you have any disputes with my conclusions, contact me at qsysmine.tk/feedback.
