Why I Don’t Buy Organic Food Anymore
As long as I continue writing, I’m not sure I’ll ever write a single article that has quite the same impact that this one did. As a dentist, I’m generally aware that most people don’t really want to read about dentistry unless they actually need a dentist for something. So last year, I decided to start branching out a bit into topics that can still be related to oral and dental health – like food and nutrition! This year, partially out of pique at a lot of the pseudoscientific nonsense that I kept seeing in my Facebook News Feed, and partially because it seemed like a good idea, I decided to write about my personal journey from not caring about what groceries I bought – to starting the slide into anti-GMO and only-organic thinking – to reasserting my critical thinking and understanding of the scientific method to realize it’s pretty much all hype.
So that’s how I, a dentist, ended up writing an article about quitting the purchase of organic foods and being totally comfortable with conventional and GMO foods and farming, because the science is solid: THEY ARE COMPLETELY SAFE.
If you’re not sure or are on the fence (I don’t expect any “true believers” in organic to listen, honestly), take a few minutes and read my story. I think you’ll end up being just as reassured as I was, and as a nice side benefit, your grocery bill will drop quite a bit, too. 🙂
