[MD] Science: Medicine?

[Krimel]

it surprises me that people who understand that organic farming is better
than conventional farming don't get the same point in relation to their own
health. chemicals are bad for the environment and they are bad for
us...industrial medicine, like industrial agriculture is an anachronism. the
concept of biodiversity and its integral relation to ecosystem health is a
metaphor that can be applied to our own health - biologically, socially and
intellectually.

Interestingly I attended a lecture last week on the topic of can science
help us produce enough food to feed a starving world? The speaker concluded
that scientifically speaking the answer was yes but from a political
perspective probably not. With regards to organic farming he said there were
two kinds of organic farmers: those in the west who market their products to
naïve affluent westerns and farmers in the third world who can't produce
enough food to feed their children.

As far as chemical in the environment are concerned: check it out, the
environment is essential composed of nothing but chemicals. Every thing we
eat is chemicals...
