It’s almost fashionable to eat organic food, but a new research in UK attempts to crop the growth of the organic food movement...
So, when someone comes up with a research like this, I get the shock of my life! When your inputs are wrong, which is pesticides and chemicals, how can your output be good?” Mr. Guptaa’s reaction isn’t an isolated one, for the scientists at LSHTM have been flooded with mail lambasting their research.
Regular users of organic food haven’t been moved by the research either. So much so that in Edinburgh, a Little Green Map will be made available from 14th September, which will enable people to directly go to the stores selling organic and environment friendly products.
Most supporters of organic food say the research defies commonsense, and that it seems that some people are trying very hard to protect their market. The LSHTM’s study searched over 50,000 papers, and a total of 162 relevant articles were identified that were published over a 50-year period. “They have included studies from the 50s, 60s and 70s for their research data. And at that time most of the earth was still good, it was not abused. I don’t know who paid for this research, for that is the only doubt that crops in my mind!” exclaimed Mr. Guptaa, resonating thoughts of proponents of organic food all over the world.
The only conclusive point that does come out of this entire brouhaha, is that very little research on organic food has been done till now, and food scientists need to get to work pronto!
