After Katrina all of my suspicuons re. `organic` foods were confirmed. A close friend had an uncle who lost 3/4 of his citrus farm to floodwaters in Placquemine parish. He was trying to replant what land was left when he was approached by some government types to turn his farm `organic`. He said he couldn`t afford to raise anything that way and hope to make enough money_no chemicals,regulations etc. They explained he didn`t have to PROVE he was growing organically-no one would inspect- he just had to pay a yearly fee for the organic label. He said no. Don`t know if it was state or federal people but if that`s how it works the people paying exorbitant $ for `healthy` are gullible morons.
If something is labeled “organic” I do not buy it. Why pay double for something which might have been grown on questionable soil.
Yeah. I’ve tasted honest-to-goodness organic free-range eggs, and they are nothing like the overpriced ones at the grocery store.
20-20 years ago had a segment on organic foods. The organic had a lot more bacterial.
