We originally said organic food is grown without the use of pesticides. Organic farmers can use pesticides from a restricted list approved by the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB). ??
Also, some listeners felt we didn’t push back enough in our interviewing. We agree. We should have pushed back on certain assertions made by Goldstein. Current science does not support his beliefs that GMOs will some day be found to cause allergies and diseases, for example.
WPSU is also planning a follow up Take Note interview with a focus on conventional farming.
