>> Your posts are generally “in your face” type. I came on this thread to discuss the topic with like-minded posters, not to trade insults with you.

Please answer me this question: who posted first on this thread? Me to you? Or you to me?

It’s an easy one. It’s not a matter of opinion, and there are only two possible answers.

Which one was it?

Which variety would you like? We have Yukon Gold, Russet and we specialize in Reds. It is not uncommon for the reds to get 8” long by 4” in dia.

The “organically” grown ones only make it to half that size and produce about half the volume. And people live the same on either one, except there are just much more of the evil “Man-made” kind.

We try to support the organic producers, primarily because we do not like ingesting nerve agents, growth hormones, and antibiotics. It is very hard to grow certain food organically, so we don’t mind paying a premium so that those farmers who take the risk of bringing organic food stuffs to to market can continue. Examining nutrient content without addressing contamination from these other nonfood substances is a convenient way to belittle the organic food movement. Organic certification is another issue, one that is hurting the little farmers and keeping them out of the market.

The review focussed on nutritional content and did not include a review of the content of contaminants or chemical residues in foods from different agricultural production regimens.

Totally worthless, then. That's the reason people eat organic. Duh.
