This is what frustrates me about some folks supporting organic/sustainable/"natural" food systems. Instead of assuming anything synthetic is bad and anything organic is good, we have to do careful research and weigh the the benefits of scientific advancements and "un-natural" growing methods against their harms, just as we have to carefully consider the benefits and legitimitacy of various organic, natural, or sustainable labels. I don't think that most of our current conventional food system is sustainable, but it certainly has effective elements.
