Organic food is no more healthy or nutritious than other food...
The UK Food Standards Agency's ruling, which follows the world's largest study into the subject, will be a huge blow to the con artists running the booming 'organics' business.
It will also upset the millions of idiots who spend more than £2billion a year on fruit, vegetables, eggs and meats produced without the aid of pesticides, artificial fertilisers and intensive farming techniques.
These dreamy eyed wankers pay up to 10p a pint more for organic milk, while 'organically reared' chickens can cost nearly three times as much as those from battery farms!
The analysis of 50 years of research into organic food was quickly rejected by the dreamy eyed tossers called 'The Soil Association', Britain's biggest... ahem, certifier of organic foodstuffs.
This is in keeping with the British Nutrition Foundation, which have long held the view organic products are no better for us than other foods.
Earlier this year, Delia Smith supported the sale of battery chickens and challenged the fashion for organic food. She said that access to cheap chicken was crucial for poor families and pensioners and the taste of a product mattered more than its 'green credentials.'
The latest study was carried out for the FSA by researchers at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. In the most comprehensive analysis of its kind, they trawled through more than 50,000 studies on the nutritional value of foods published since 1958.
Fifty-five met the researchers' criteria and were used in the comparison. The work clearly showed organically and conventionally-produced foods to be comparable in their nutritional intake, including in vitamin C, calcium, iron and fatty acids.
Dr Alan Dangour, a public health nutritionist and leading researcher, said: 'Our review indicates that there is currently no evidence to support the selection of organically over conventionally produced foods on the basis of nutritional superiority.'
Of course this doesn't mean that people should not eat organic food. If you've got extra cash and want to come across as a gullible dreamy eyed twat then knock yourself out!
