Sure. And yet other claims can be proven to be true.
Reminds me of a quote in Shockwave Rider: There are two kinds of fools. One says, “This is old, and therefore good.” And one says, " This is new, and therefore better.”
I think it’s is not totally counter-intuitive to assume that large-scale industrial farming might be detrimental to the quality of the produce, and that would include nutrition, because nutritional value is simply not an aspect industrial production optimizes or even cares for. It would be really surprising to me - but entirely possible, of course - if the nutritional value accidentally went up, or even stayed the same.
Therefore it is essential that we have rigorous scientific investigation of those aspects by people who are not inherently biassed, to know what is actually going on.
Just to make this clear: nutritional supplements are one big fucking bag of woo. It appears to me you seem to limit that to claims about organic food, I don’t see that bias as warranted.
And that being said, many things that go on around us is actually evidence-based. We’re simply not aware of that, and label the things we are aware of as woo. But that is but the tip of the iceberg.
Yeah, it doesn’t. And I can tolerate woo that protects the planet and people’s health while being kinder to animals over woo that exists for profit for a selected few only, and fucks over everyone and everything else.
