I've read the articles about why organic can be worse than regular farming. Which is why I used the word 'hopefully'. I fully realize that organics can use chemicals, it's just that their chemicals are 'approved'.

However, once again, we have just torn down organic, and left people with the status quo. I've yet to read about any studies talking about wildlife populations bouncing back because of the advances in pesticides, herbicides, and GMOs. I have however read several articles recently about the sharp declines in insect populations like I mentioned before.

This brings me back to me original complaint. Everything is bad. Nothing is helping.

And because regular farming is bad, and organic is bad, I can't make a difference. There is no viable third option(I don't care to hear about how I can buy land and grow my own everything, and weave my own clothing).

If you want the status quo. This is what you do. You shoot down every new path.
