While that is true, how do you respond to the (Taleb) counter-argument: "There is no evidence than non-organic food is *not worse* for you compared to the thousands of years of evidence for the organic food evidence"
There aren't thousands of years of organic food evidence so I'm not sure what that argument means
Maybe I should have quoted "organic". I was referring to e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_food …pic.twitter.com/Lj4Hq6Y3uL
Sure, so we did farm organically for a long time, but that isn't evidence that it's better 
It is evidence that *it didn't kill us* while folks will say there isn't enough evidence that non-organic won't. Again, I don't agree with that line of arguments, but that is very, very common.
Well we've got 100ish years of evidence of conventional farming not killing us so I still don't really see the argument lol
Have you read Antifragile? Taleb says he won't eat anything that hasn't been eaten for at least a few centuries because of this 
That sounds like an extremely illogical thing to do
