Misguided Study

Organic food is sometimes in the news! Some geniuses at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (huh?) have released a study concluding:


"there is currently no evidence to support the selection of organically over conventionally produced foods on the basis of nutritional superiority."Times UK reports the obvious response that Yahoo News left off:


"[The study] had not looked at pesticide and herbicide residues in food produced by organic and conventional farming methods. The study also did not seek to compare the taste of the products. So other than the fact that organic food might taste better and be free of pesticides and herbicide residues, there is no nutritional reason for buying it? Uh huh, ok.
