> High organic food scores were inversely associated with the overall risk of cancer

So rich people who can afford expensive food get cancer less often.


Or people that choose organic are also choosing other things that they think are healthy, and they're right at least some of the time.

It might be like that. Everyone should strive to make the best decisions and not go with the mainstream. Always question the mainstream, it's dangerous. Make a change for the better. Everything starts with you. Then your family, friends, neighbors... Do you have the opportunity to grow something yourself? Do that.

There's some value in that line of thinking, as the mainstream often (okay, euphemism there) pushes bad choices, like in the past smoking being mainstream to the point of doctors being paid to promote the "health benefits" of cigarettes.

But at the same time I don't think its healthy to _always_ question everything in the mainstream. Its mainstream for a reason (sometimes an angle pushed by economic groups like big cig in the example above), and sometimes the reason is reasonable. Be critical and keep an open mind, but don't assume its fake because its mainstream.


> It's been proven

You can't just say this without a link.


It's common knowledge. Do more than 5 minutes of research into what it takes to earn a USDA sticker as well as the ingredients and administration practices of conventional pesticides.

There are studies in France that showed it. It's been widely discussed here because of the opposition of the population to the pro-pesticide agro-industrial lobbies.


So use Chrome for Google services and Firefox for everything else?

Or... Don't use Google services.

It doesn't protect from important tracking cases and will eventually allow ads, as the advertisers adjust: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-as...

Firefox has a single switch to turn off all AI functionality. Does Chrome have it?

I'd rather the code not be there at all, if they leave a toggle for it, they're likely to turn it on without my permission. Mozilla has little trust in my book after mr robot and their other nonsense.

So you trust Google who is killing any protection from tracking but do not trust Mozilla that supports a strong protection?

Speak for yourself. Sent from my Librem 5 running an FSF-endorsed operating system with all free drivers and no megacorps inside.

So you were wrong.
