After reading your original post I believe I agree with you. I found articles that pointed to both practices leading to an increase in pathogens. None of the studies I saw seemed particularly unbiased. My guess is that the infection rate is similar. I also agree that organic is pretty stupid. If you have to giant farms, and one is labeled organic, they are both pretty horrible for the environment for the reasons I list later. Yes vegetarians and vegans who claim moral superiority are obnoxious, and I have been tempted to punch one or two in the past. However, I think they have a right to decide their own morals as long as they do no push them on other people. I feel this way about most decisions. Individual liberty and choice are important. So I apologize for my attack.
