Rivka, you are wise
\ most are well aware that strict
'organic' methods, [. . . ] are folly.
Organicism, now there's a word, sounds like a cult religion. Certainly we wouldn't describe the belief in organic agriculture as being anything like that. You know, suggesting that embracing modern chemistry in every other aspect of our existence but rejecting the use of even a single man-made chemical in our agriculture is somehow a little crazy.
What I mainly resent is that some of the "true believers" in organic horticulture seem to be attempting to make an evil doer of everyone who does not follow their procedures to the nth degree.
organic agriculture produces far more calories in ratio to those put into it than conventional agriculture. But conventional agriculture produces more food in a land use to food quantity ratio.
If I recall the LD50 of nicotine is fairly
low, as it is for Rotenone (which is approved for organic use.)
