From Geoff Russell, St Morris, South Australia
Michael Le Page calls on us to stop buying organic food “if we really want to save the planet”. This was an excellent example of taking aim at people who put slogans before evidence, but not following the argument through to its obvious conclusion.
The relative warming impact of animal products to grains varies between about 50 for beef down to about 3 for eggs and chicken.
The big question isn't should you eat organic, but should you eat animals. And if you care about the planet (or the animals), the answer is no.
