I saw a news report a few months ago that stated that organic food has no benefits over GM foods. I don't believe everything I read, though.

Seriously I think that food should not be messed with. That includes using very harmful insecticides, especially new ones that have led to a great reduction in the number of creatures essential to the Earth - Bees.

I saw a documentary where a farmer was talking about insecticides and how bad they are, as well as the hold insecticide companies have on farmers. He also mentioned that the nutritional value of fruit and veg today is something like 30-40% that it was 50 years ago.

The farmer was doing completely natural farming, using a large amount of earthworms to fill the soil with nutrients and producing food with very high nutritional value, that is the way forward IMO.

I would like to grow my own fruit and veg, maybe when I can afford my own house with space for a large greenhouse, maybe in a few years if all goes well.
