I don’t eat organic foods because they (may) have more vitamins and minerals... I try to eat organic foods because I don’t want to ingest man-made chemicals or growth hormones...
If those who think organic food is so great knew that it is grown in cow poop, they would go berserk.
I’ve never comprehended this whole organic thing. “Organic” just means carbon-based. But according the Gospel of Saint Gore of the Church of Global Warming, carbon is a deadly poisonous toxin that is killing the earth. So why should we want to eat food that was certified to have been produced with deadly, earth-killing poison?
exactly.
people that eat the foods of the corporate agriculture-ama-pharma-ada-trial lawyers complex
get osteoporosis, coronary, diabetes, strokes etc.
I dont eat organic food because I refuse to buy anything that says “organic”, “green” or any other hippy fashionable food.
If its organic, fine, but I wont buy it just because its organic. And if I find out its marketed as organic I won’t eat it. I guess I am not “upwardly mobile”. Give me food. Regular food.
It's a rip off. Any food problem has been traced back to “organic” farming. I'll take the pesticides and wash my veggies and fruits well. I don't want the other stuff that comes with the “organic” stuff. FOr many organic eating food is a RELIGION.
I've seen such food that is better for being fresh and naturally ripened. I've also seen some stunted gnarly misfits. I see them selling stunted gnarly vegetables. ;-)
Organic and locally produced are leftist equivalents of communion or other Christian rituals. The organic food sacrament is a profession of faith
I prefer not to eat growth hormones, antibiotics, artificial colors and flavors, preservatives, etc. Organic also tastes better. Try eating organic potatoes for a couple weeks and then eat a "conventional" potato. The difference in taste cannot be denied.
My daughters especially noticed the difference in taste in beef and baked potatoes when they were teenagers who couldn't have cared less what we ate as long as it was food!
Hmmm... Not seeing the evil in man-made chemicals as opposed to 'nature made' ones. A chemical is either good or bad for you, doesn't matter where it got made. Cobra venom is not a man-made chemical but I doubt you'd want to ingest it.
My digestive system does a pretty decent job of sorting out food from non-food. I haven't been sick in years.
Needless to say, I won't eat anything that is labelled 'Organic' unless there's no other choice. The organic label is a political statement. All food is organic. What I want is cheap food that tastes good and that has plenty of nutrients in it.
That’s what I keep telling my wife. But she still likes wasting money at Whole Foods, by far the most overpriced grocery store there is. And also a big liberal hangout.
Many years ago a scientist was asked what people did before artificial fertilizers. His answer, “They died younger.”
Not only that, but it’s way over priced. Even people who like shopping there call it whole paychecks. Seems that slapping an organic sticker on a food item gives you a license to steal. Now we learn there is no major health benefit to buying organic. Me, I’m sticking with Food For Less.
“Organic” foods are a scam. The only purpose is to convince people to pay higher prices for their fruits and vegetables by having them grown inefficiently.

I have some news for you! Are you sitting down? It’s pretty startling:
SURPRISE! People who eat overpriced orgasmic food get osteoporosis, coronary, diabetes, strokes, etc. also.
But those of us who haven’t wasted our entire lives on others’ guilt trips die happier, I’m willing to bet.
Overall, last time I looked, the death rate is still 100%.

You seem pretty sure of that. How do you know? ‘cause there’s only one way to tell for certain...
Ah, nevermind, now that I think about it I don’t really want the details.
:-)
It is more expensive, but shopping sales and using coupons helps. Once you begin eating organic, it’s hard to go back to conventional because the flavor is soooo different.
