you can't make the assumption that because a plant is not poisonous,
it is 100% good for you

And you can't make the assumption that organic farming is making a
traditional food more toxic.

and one has to reconcile the fact that we are living longer then ever
on mainly a corn syrup diet

Make that in spite of corn syrup. Obese, type 2, diabetic children
aren't going to increase the life expectancy average.

I suspect having cheap calories to eat overrides everything else, IMO

Not if the cheap calories that are causing life shortening illnesses;
metabolic syndrome includes obesity, hypertension, diabetes, high
cholesterol. One of the reasons that grain was processed was because
pests avoided it in favor of whole grains.

Another was to extend shelf life. Then wealthy style setters said it
was cool and beside dental caries can be fixed. It truly is good to
live below the salt. This when "a pox on thee" was a real curse
