Has anyone seen this?

Very eye opening, amazing the things we are not aware of, whether our ignorance comes from these large corporations doing everything they can to keep us in the dark or our arrogance to ignore this information..

better has nothing to do with it. the taste should be the same.

the chances of E Coli are significantly reduced. To advert the support of the few large companies who have systems in place who's byproduct is the spread of E Coli would be the goal... and would be better, actually.

if both meat tastes the same but the support goes to a healthier future, why the resistance?

this not only affects the future of our health, but drives up oil prices (75 gallons a day per farm?) to feed the cows corn instead of the nature grasses their body needs to reduce E Coli in their system...

not sure why we would resist change, even to humor folks... resisting change is the American way I assume..

Organic Farm Facts:

Tomatoes

* 122sq m of land is needed to produce a tonne of organic vine tomatoes. The figure for conventionally-grown loose tomatoes is 19sq m.

* Energy needed to grow organic tomatoes is 1.9 times that of conventional methods.

* Organic tomatoes grown in heated greenhouses in Britain generate one hundred times the amount of CO2 per kilogram produced by tomatoes in unheated greenhouses in southern Spain.

Milk

* Requires 80 per cent more land to produce per unit than conventional milk.

* Produces nearly 20 per cent more carbon dioxide and almost double the amount of other by-products that can lead to acidification of soil and pollution of water courses.

Chickens

* Organic birds require 25 per cent more energy to rear and grow than conventional methods.

* The amount of CO2 generated per bird is 6.7kg for organic compared to 4.6kg for conventional battery or barn hens.

* Eutrophication, the potential for nutrient-rich by-products to pollute water courses, is measured at 86 for organic compared to 49 for conventional.

* The depletion of natural resources is measured at 99 for organic birds compared to 29 for battery or barn hens.

yeah, this thread should die.. lol

20% of organic food comes from China..

organic pesticides are actually more harmful since they do not use synthetic pesticides, which have been engineered to be less harmful.

a cup or pot of coffee has a much greater chance of causing cancer than a years worth of synthetic pesticide residue...

all things I didn't know..

but putting these hippies on here is laughable.. they are only there for effect, no other real purpose..

saw the 1st 10 minutes, trying to find the rest..

A government commissioned study in the UK. That didn't take into account water use, animal warefare & soil condition- bio diversity. Huge bullet points when it comes to organic farming.

There is more to organic farming then just cost benefit, No Sh*t your not going to be able to feed the world on organic farming the yields are just not there.

& I love Penn & Tellers Bullsh*t but for there organic food episode they used the Hudson Institute for there "Facts". The Hudson institute is pretty much funded by big agriculture & Chemical Mfgs: Cargill, ConAgra Foods, Exxon Mobil, McDonald's, Monsanto, National Agricultural Chemical Association.

& the whole thing with the hippy taste off, C'mon

Grass Fed beef taste very different from grain fed. No doubt. In fact, some people find it strange.

How can anyone really dismiss the value of eating natural/organic foods??? Seriously.

Like PC said, no poo, the yields arent there...thats what started the whole thing. The part about the chickens is enough to make you think....

My wife has some family that own some chicken houses...they dont eat chicken.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.

      It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
