The marxist ideas that the Obama administration touts, for example, “electricity prices in the U.S. would have to go up” are often found, after a little research, to be either fully supported by or even conceived by various industries.
In the case of food, the papers I pointed to take clear positions that the developed nations must feel pain in order to satisfy the needs of the developing ones.
That’s not free enterprise in my book, yet big business is backing the “research” group proposing this idea.
Most Prius drivers and higher income suburban Obama voters.
I always figured the amount of vehicle exhaust you breathe in and out going in and out of the grocery store to buy organics kinda cancelled the whole benefit out.
If you are dead serious about organics, grow it yourself.
Most of us do grow our own but unlike you, we don’t live in climates where you can harvest 12 months out of the year. Some of “us” have a three month window.
Yeah I drive an SUV because I have to drive through alot of snow and I drive it right to Whole Foods so I can feed my family real fresh food throughout the winter.
When man decided he was smarter than g*d, or in the Libs case Gaia, an interesting thing happened, when we started dickin around with seeds and food.
GMO was approved in 1991, 1992 was Agenda 21 UN approval.
Autism, Lymes, MS, Fibromyalgia, CFS started to proliferate..... coincidence?
Keep eating that crap.
I left out an important clause: the amount of toxic DRIVING AROUND LOOKING FOR A PARKING SPOT and then walking into the grocery store, you might be ingesting more than organic can rollback.
Are you just a smart ass or do you have a Prius stuck somewhere.
Buzz off.
Another good one! LOL!
(Thank you!!)
Rush, which is truly a more conservative food choice?
A) A steak from a feedlot cow who lived a miserable short life in a wallow of feces, stuffed with antibiotics and gmo grains and fed hormones and drugs to get it to grow bigger faster, who has no omega 3 fats in it thus promoting illness
Or
B) a steak from a grassfed cow whose food was whatever natural grasses it found while grazing in the sunshine, fairly happy until that one bad day, giving the cow a healthy ratio of omega 3 fats to omega 6's, making that steak almost as healthy as salmon to whomever eats it? Rather than being marinated in hormones, drugs, and antibiotics, its flavor is beefy, fresh, and clean like the steaks Granddaddy used to eat?
Organic in terms of produce means less likely to include toxic pesticides that CAUSE Alzheimer's and gehrig's and Parkinson's. I'd rather pay extra for them than have my kids deal with the burdens of my late life neurodegenerative disease, if possible. I think that is a conservative value, putting my children's future ahead of my desire to save cash today.
I am pleased that so many conservatives care about health. That paleo caller you had was right on. By eating good, plain, conservative, old timey food, he cured himself of diabetes. There are a million stories like his out there. People are becoming healthy by returning to the foods of old. There is nothing conservative about blindly eating today's packaged frankenfood! It's as conservative as voting for the clean, articulate, unvetted candidate because he happens to be black.
I won’t eat organic crap!!!
If it isn’t raised with chemical fertalizer designed for the particular crop after soil analyss and kept insect free wirh pesticides I wont’ eat it!!
That attitude has kept me healthy for 75 years!
good for areas that have a short growing period....
