Organic Foods - a step backwards

We accept exactly the same technology (as GM food) in medicine, and yet in producing food we want to go back to the 19th Century.

"We wouldn't think of going to our doctor and saying 'Treat me the way doctors treated people in the 19th Century', and yet that's what we're demanding in food production."
