A dentist in my class doesn't support organic and I want your opinion
Right now I'm taking a dental assisting class. We covered a nutrition chapter in class which supported the consumption of organic foods. My instructor asked the class if there was a corrolation between the hormones in conventionally raised meat and dairy and early puberty in children. I said that there is a correlation since they do inject the calf with hormones so it can grow faster in a short period of time. To which one of my classmates commented, "We all have hormones."
I tried not to debate but it got worse.
There is a dentist in my class who simply said that there is no point of consuming organic food and that if we eat organics exclusively then we'd be supressing our immune systems. She also said that there is no proof that if a produce is labeled organic that it is organic.
The dentist stated that the teeth in our mouth are impacted because our diets of eating soft cooked food are making our jaws smaller. Our past ancestors consumed raw crunchy foods and did not have the problem of impacted teeth. The jaw could fit all the dentition which included the 3rd molars which are known as "wisdom teeth." She was stating all this fact and then she states that there is no reason to change your diet that we should keep eating the way we are eating since that is the way it is now.
So I asked the dentist, "So do you prefer eating pesticides since that's what you eat along with the conventional food?" I don't remember what she said but she seemed stymied. Some other girl commented to our discussion on nutrition but no one was supporting me. I feel a little devistated. I don't eat all organic but I still support it. A lady in my class said that "if it hasn't killed me yet then there isn't a reason for me to stop." She laughed. I felt sad. I'm aware of too much and I keep running into social environments that allienate me.
If we keep on the way we are at supporting Monsanto, turning a blind eye to what is going on in the world then we will leave a barren waste land to our children. You can kiss your 150 k job good bye. What does more sick patients mean to you? Is that more money in your pocket? What does education mean when you can't do something beneficial with it.
I honestly can't believe what is coming from peoples' mouths. All the information is there and seeing people going to college or graduating from college who don't even acknowledge it in this day in age floors me.
So what are we on this earth for? I don't think enough people know.
Please tell me what you think. I need some support.

I used to not believe in organic food, and was raw for 4 years not eating any of it organic and did just fine...but then I decided to see what the difference was if I switched to organic. I actually detoxed for a week the first week on organic, proper detox like I had when I first went raw. So now I am convinced because of the effect it has on my body, the taste of the food is much better. I'm not OTT about it, though, I just do the best I can...and eat mostly organic now.
As an aside - I went to a dentist recently who totally floored me by saying that to work out the dimensions of my new bridge, he was going to work out my Golden Mean ratio, a dentist using sacred geometry?! I was amazed!

Thes "students" have been force fed false information all their lives and agrred to it so they would get good "grades"and don't know how to evaluate information on their own so don't expect them to agree with you.
Needing the approval of others is a losing situation.
Tthe difference is that you are interested in finding out the truth and they aren't. Unfortunatly there is a large percentage of teh planet like this - thus we have the problems we do

dentists, like doctors, do not know nutrition. i have a few in my family.
'ef 'em!
focus less on him and your classmates and more on finding a rock-star holistic dentist to work for once you're done with school. find that dentist who only does composites and removes mercury fillings.
our dentist only touches mercury to remove it, and he's also trained as an acupuncturist. there are meridians that go to the teeth from the gums!
