The major reason there is so much cancer is because people are living longer, they are developing and dying from cancer rather than something else getting them sooner.

I agree with furrow stickler on this topic...

Your grandmother's homemade loaf of bread wouldn't last 4 days on the cupboard without mold starting to grow on it(if the loaf wasn't eaten before then)..... now the "modern bought loaf" will sit on the cupboard for two weeks without mold growing... think about it.

And so much stuff is processed with preservatives that weren't used in the past. Salt and canning preserved most food years ago. Now? a list of chemicals.

Don't blame only primary ag production.

Exactly.

All these idiots pining for the good old days obviously don't want that part of the good old days where they would have died before they started school.

Refined sugar and shit processed diets is largest culprit of cancer. Cancer thrives on sugar, cut the sugar, cancer dies and the body metabolizes the damaged cells 1st through a process discovered in 2016 called autophagy. Ultralow carbohydrate diets and intermittent fasting is the way to turn back the clock.

Absolutely 100%, glad some people are informed!

I don't think anyone is trying to turn back the clock that far but I do think the pendulum of Society's chemical romance has swung too far.

I suspect hobbyfarmer would agree with you, and he has found a way to profit from that pendulum swinging back the other way. The question I ask is, if enough people want to end the chemical romance( and pay more to do so) how do we scale up to meet that demand, can it be done within the confines of the organic regulations?

AF5... The romance reaches far beyond primary ag production...we are a small piece of a big puzzle.

How true, what injustices happen to food after it leaves the farm make our chemical contributions look miniscule. But if we don't produce a product which can be tested as residue free, they can't market it as chemical free, not matter what processes they do or don't use to avoid chemicals. What I am getting at, is I think there will eventually, out of necessity, be a market for residue free products, along side organic, except many times larger. Most consumers could care less if the fertilizer cames from organic pigs, or a hole in the ground, so long as it wasn't "drenched in glyphosate" etc.
