Is organic food a scam?

That’s rather a red herring argument.

The reasons for eating organic is not health benefits, but the logic surrounding the production. It should be said though, that many products still contain trace amounts of glyphosate, which can be traced in people’s urine. That can hardly be healthy.

But the main argument for organic farming is that it takes less of a toll on resources, including fossil fuels, and is better for biodiversity if done right. Permaculture especially is better in that sense. But of course, that’s not what agro-business would have you believe.
