Rosemary is one of the easiest herbs to grow. It grows well in containers for colder climates. I have one plant that started as one limb and is now about a ten foot bush.
Don’t tell me Alice Waters is writing here on a conservative forum!
Seriously, though, even with 7 years of soil restoration (how biblical), it wouldn’t explain how perfect the fruit and vegetables are. But you seem to be hinting and what I am saying: the organic industry is a fraud.
I think that SA article is wrong. I believe regular pasteurized milk in the supermarket is marked with a ‘sell by’, not an expiration, date—and it’s good for up to 10 days after the sell-by date.
I assume because there’s no fat in it.
Maybe he ate it back in the ‘90s.
Food freaks are some of the worst people on earth. They are dedicated to ruining the joy of life for other people. Most, not all, are on the left of the political spectrum.
Sugar is sugar, and so is starch. It is converted by your saliva before it even gets to your stomach. Milk is also full of sugar.
No matter the source, Americans are hooked on the drug which is sugar.
Herbs are very expensive when sold in those tiny little packets. And they turn black after 2 minutes in the fridge. Rosemary is easy to grow in pots in the summertime. Outside, it will come back year after year.
Tell you what. You keep eating what you’re eating. And I’ll keep to this pure foods diet, and maintaining a weight I haven’t been since I was 9 years old....without starving and healthier than ever.<^..^>
Ok nice article but wrong about the merits of artificial food.
Just watch this video and teem me which sweet potato you would rather eat — the “Bud-nip” one, or the organic one?

The FDA and the Dairy Association duped Americans into thinking drinking milk is good for you.
"One at noon,
One at night,
One along the way.
You never outgrow your need for milk.
Drink three glasses every day."
(a propaganda song)
Most mammals are weaned off of mother's milk at a very young age, that mother's milk is necessary for introducing components for early infant developmental nutrition and resistance to diseases.
No other mammal besides man consumes the milk of another mammal.
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, there's nothing quite like a mouthful of nice cold sour milk to make your day.
Conservative answer:
If there wasn’t a strong market and demand for organic food, it wouldn’t be selling.
It is a choice made freely. If you oppose it, you are something other than a conservative. If you oppose free choice, China and Russia can meet your need just fine.

Well, let’s not exaggerate. I have no problem with the demand and selling of organic food. I just think the industry is slipping a rubber peach on a gullible child, to use a Bob and Ray phrase.
Amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in the saliva of humans and some other mammals, where it begins the chemical process of digestion. Foods that contain large amounts of starch but little sugar, such as rice and potato, may acquire a slightly sweet taste as they are chewed because amylase degrades some of their starch into sugar.
The pancreas and salivary gland make amylase (alpha amylase) to hydrolyse dietary starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides which are converted by other enzymes to glucose to supply the body with energy. Plants and some bacteria also produce amylase.
For even better results, avoid sugar completely (which is almost impossible) but your body doesn't even need it.
It makes its own.
It makes its own from vegetables and grain.
Rinse, heat, and put it in a can with lots of salt. Open the can; rinse, heat in microwave; reapply the salt, and eat. Don’t worry about pesticides or poopy.
Why organic will last longer, look fresher, etc. is a function of the fact that it costs more.
Yes, it actually flows in that direction, not the other way.
It’s like the fact that you will find a better orange at the store in NYC than in Florida because it costs more.
If you are paying a premium for something (be it organic, or expensive due to shipping), you will demand a better product for your money. You can check the productivity per acre for organic farms, and it appreciably less then for conventional agriculture. That means some stuff is being left behind because it isn’t up to snuff. Because of the higher cost they can afford that.
In the case of organic milk, it likely means you are using a closer dairy which doesn’t store stuff as long, and the turnover is higher.
Personally I have organic milk delivered to my house. This is not because it is organic (I simply don’t buy into that stuff), but because it is delivered. They wouldn’t deliver normal milk because it is too cheap. The accoutrements follow the cost.
