A Fresh Market opened here, and my mother-in-law, God bless her, fell in love and told me I had to go there. I went and took a look around. It’s a lovely store, and the organic fruits and vegetables are very prettily arranged, but they cost two to three times what I pay at the regular old grocery store. Yeah, I’m not interested.
It’s a myth that fruit sugar (fructose) is healthy for you. Fruit has nutrients, but it raises the blood sugar just like any other sugar.
My mom was diabetic; I know. What do they tell diabetics to drink to get low blood sugar back up? Orange juice.
Currently there are no genetically modified tomatoes available commercially. Where do you get your GMO tomatoes?
That is also why it tastes sweeter, because the sugars are caramelized by the process.
Yes, they do.
Cats drink milk, as do dogs, pigs, goats and just about every other mammal I have seen.
What they don't do is raise milk animals but they don't raise meat animals either so that argument is quite irrelevant.
If humans give it to them. Hell, my cat will eat spaghetti sauce.
You've seen coyotes, wild boars or mountain lions sneaking up on a bison to nurse?
Thank you.
Sugar is sugar.
Or leave it unattended for a moment.

Ever see one eat the udder which contains milk?
Sorry to burn your straw man.
Your argument is flawed. Find another one.
I buy flour on sale in quantity, repackage it in freezer ziplocs and put it through my deep freeze for a couple of weeks. Never had a bug problem since I’ve been doing that. Do that to my rice, pasta and cornmeal as well. Organic or otherwise.
Raw milk has a longer shelf life than pastured homo... lactate ria culture that acidifies the milk acts to kill off any bad cooties that can’t tolerate low pH enviornment.
I don’t make this bread very often and those herbs that I use regularly I buy in bulk. The soil where I live is very acid and it is even difficult to get grass to grow without heavy liming.
On top of that my property is surrounded by trees and that limits the amount of sun time, where is Al Gore, and the growing season is short.
I live on a snow line and the way it looks the last snow will be gone around May first.
Makes sense. That’s why fresh mayo is safe to eat since the acid in it kills any potential bad stuff in the raw eggs.
Chicken manure is tops as well. Just need to be careful in spreading since it can burn the crop being fertilized if too concentrated.
They never mention the “poop aspect”. I will avoid organic vegetables and fruits whenever possible because if they truly are “organic” they were fertilized with “poop”.
I thought you'd never ask.
OK, your body can't utilize the calcium from milk because there is no accompanying magnesium content!
The reason the cows can metabolize the calcium is because the plants they eat do contain magnesium.
Unless you take a magnesium supplement, the body will use up its own magnesium trying to process all this calcium, which promotes heart disease and osteoporosis.
Cow's milk also concentrates hormones from the grower, as well as other agri-chemicals ingested by the animals.
The USDA knows this, and you probably did too.
” I just think the industry is slipping a rubber peach on a gullible child, to use a Bob and Ray phrase.”
Free markets involve consumers making their own decisions of value received and cost. Some prefer not to eat petrochemicals and poisons and willingly pay extra to avoid them. I don’t blame them.
I delivered a load of organic chicken to the processer once. They were so unhealthy, a third of them died on the way.....................
Hear, hear.
Cats.
