It's the intellectual equivalent of using the evidence from somebody you
met at a bar.
He says he's driven a tractor, thousands of miles. - I can believe that!
Then he says "We have organic as well as conventional farms". Ask
yourself; 'Who is he referring to when he says "we"?'For all I know he
could be referring to the population of Texas.
Do you REALLY think that there are more than 5 amphibians in every
square FOOT of rice?
It's a joke that you and other fools have fallen for.
There are animal deaths in rice production, but there is no mystical
"green waterfall".
