3. It's weird when you think about it -
organic farming has been around for tens of thousands of years.

Only after WWII was there this push to spray everything with pesticides and herbi9cides, and to have mono cultures planted rather than companion plants.

But only in the last twenty years do we have these really weird contaminants in the food.
The e coli cannot be washed off the plants, once on it. (I am not sure if they' re distributed inside the molecular structure of the food or what.) E coli has been around forever, but the new versions are unlike anything we have seen before, and somehow they always end up being blamed on organic farming.
