Organic farming uses LOTS of pesticides.
Many of them are less effective and need to be used in higher quantities and applied more frequently.
Many are not safer for humans either.
Organic is LITERALLY a 30-yr old marketing ploy made by lobbyists.

Politicians: stop fixating on food ingredients & focus on farming disinformation.
People are scared to eat SAFE & healthy conventional produce that’s half the price of organic.
Organic is 35% MORE PROFITABLE & has no benefit. EWG & Moms Across America fuel anti-science lies for personal profit.

Table salt is a chemical compound consisting of sodium & chloride ions.
Sodium: a metal that explodes when put in water.
Chlorine: a gas that is toxic if inhaled at low concentrations.
The sum of the parts don’t equal the whole.
Use this logic with ALL chemicals. Facts matter.

Formaldehyde is a target of fear-mongering about vaccines.
12,000 micrograms (ug) of formaldehyde in a pear.
A baby produces 1,100 ug daily.
Adults? 1.5 ounces daily.
A vaccine? Less than 100 ug.
You produce 425,000X MORE formaldehyde EVERY DAY than what might be in a vaccine.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

In everyday speech, "theory" often refers to a hunch or a speculation.
In science, "theory" refers to a comprehensive explanation of nature.
Many scientific theories are so well-established that no new evidence is likely to change them.
For example: evolution and germ theory.

While flat-earth beliefs have become a punchline, germ theory denialism is less well known but equally absurd, as it promotes the pseudoscientific belief that germs don't cause infectious disease and that viruses don’t even exist.

When I fact-check pesticide misinformation some folks bring up pollinator health. Ecological impact is always top of mind for farmers.
But people don’t realize THIS is the biggest threat to honeybees. Not specific insecticides used judiciously to ensure food supply.
