LOL *NSFW* *The new Demote thread*

Oh yes, hell yes. The unfortunate fact about farming is that other lifeforms are also interested in eating the food you're growing - if you want to actually be able to sell any of the food you grow then you have to find a way to manage that.

I was with you right up until this point. Everything - literally everything in the known universe - is a chemical. I am a watery bag of chemicals held together by chemicals - so are you, and so is everyone else on this forum for that matter (including the spambots). Using "chemicals" as a pejorative or negative term is wholly scientifically illiterate and only furthers FUD in the mind of the general public.

Let me be clear, since this seems to be a concept that is lost on some: it is entirely possible to disagree with someone without personally attacking them. This post is not intended as a personal insult; I can disagree with a person's ideas and opinions without finding that person disagreeable.

In a properly controlled double-blinded test... highly doubtful. I seem to recall a number of studies concluding that there is no nutritional difference between the organic and "regular" vegetables they tested. People might tell you that they think it's better, but people's opinions aren't often subject to controlled double-blinded conditions. People often perceive organic food as "better" than "regular" food because they've been told that it's better; whether there is any objective difference is highly doubtful. Which is why the only aspect of organic farming I can get behind is "organic" meat (as opposed to those metallic cows you hear about ): the higher animal welfare standards that organic certification requires.

 

I entirely agree with you Byron so no offence taken, I was simply being lazy by using the term "chemical" as opposed to stating Pesticide e.t.c.
I find non organic usually tastes better and lasts longer if i'm honest, as far as fruit and veg goes but that's a personal observation and has no scientific backing.

As for the meat the organic standards are much better for animal welfare but taste wise it's all about the breed, age and to a surprising extent how stress free the handling is, especially how stressed the animal is at the end.

Staff at the new Legoland Discovery Centre in Birmingham denied Yvonne Radcliff entry due to a "no adults without a child" policy.

Apparently 6 tonnes of broken glass were removed from Nottingham's streets after the last match.... And they say that weed is the problem...

 

Makes perfect sense to me, especially considering they have adult only evenings on offer.

What has been see, cannot be unseen.

 

You know, I've been here a while, and I don't remember the fuss about that picture...

 

No. No-one deserves that.

 

Someone PM DevDoge the image so I can evaluate his reaction and consider having it PM'd to me or not.

 

i sense a trap... Bans were discussed over THAT image...

 

That image is why this is the 'new demote thread'... the original thread was burned to the ground for the good of all.

 

NO. No no no no no no noooooo. Never. No.

 

It was deleted whenever it registered it's horrific saggy presence.
