I opt for conventionally grown vegetables because organics are fertilized with poop. I do like organic beef and milk.

Funny how everyone has something negative to say about my choice of using organic food yet at no time have I been disparaging about others' choice of conventional products.

I've seen it too often people using as an argument the use of cow dung as a fertilizer, something which has been used for thousands of years. It decomposes so fast while it releases much needed nutrients. The e-coli outbreaks are not caused by manure but by careless migrants defecating next to fully grown crop. And I witness too often, as many of you do too, I am sure, the mass majority of people sitting down and eating without washing their hands or opening that bag of chips from the vending machine, again, with same unwashed hands used to insert the money into the slot.

So if my choice of paying more for organic food, using the money I earn, caring for my family the way I chose makes me a .. chump in your eyes, well so be it.
