The Organic Scam - I'm

The Organic Scam - I'm a conservative - make sure we're all straight on that, OK? But I have to confess I lifelong preference for organic food. It just tastes better, OK? Don't be yapping about yanking my GOP card over this.

So I listened with great interest to NPR's report the other day about a Swiss study that, supposedly, proves organic farming is more efficient than conventional farming.

But only if you seriously jiggle the numbers, says Ronald Bailey, who notes that "conventional" farming, based on the use of nitrogen-based fertilizer, is responsible for the earth being able to support about two billion people more than it would otherwise.

Has anyone told the Greens this?
