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.

    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
    • The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
