Organic is BestYour health depends on it.

My brother is so anti-organic, that he refuses to eat perfectly good organic food?

Oh gosh, my brother is 19 yet still insane. He claims the organic industry is the devil because its yields less food, which he claims is just an insult to starving and poor people. Today we went to a restaurant and most of the items were expensive except for a perfectly good platter which was only 8.95 and was organic. But just because it was organic my brother started an uproar and claimed I hated africa by ordering something which was in his words, “smaller, yielded less food for the poor, disease ridden, with no proven health benefits” all because it was organic he refused to eat it and ruined a nice night out with my whole family because he felt it was supporting “an evil industry” by eating it. Oh god, my brother is truly insane, but he said the organic industry “convinced Zimbabwe not to incorporate non organic food which would of increased the food supply and feed those starving people, but NO, instead they decided to starve those people with organic food.”

Your brother is touching on one of many controversial things about organic food. Some people think it is a sham because it is just another govt. org. to fund to become “certified”. I doubt that it will affect the feeding of people in Africa or other countries as I agree it is a niche market.
As for your brother, if he doesn’t like it, then he doesn’t have to eat it. As we say in our home “More for me!”. And if he is so concerned about other countries, he could look into peace corps, or another way to make a difference.
