You’re still fooling yourself if you think that an organic tomato is better for your or tastes better than the one that Taco Tico serves-up. And nobody chime in that you’re doing it to avoid cancer of whatever. There is NO evidence that organic is safer for you that the trace amounts of pesticides in traditionally grown foods.
A tortilla made with sun-dried tomato is still bread stuffed with the same rice and ground beef flavored with tomato sauce and the same green chiles that everybody else serves. I am saddened to know that so many of you are so easily deceived.
I take the bulk of my meals at home so I can watch them being made.
Who said anything about organic or better for you? Not me, you keep obsessing on that, I’m simply pointing out that the product does indeed clearly taste better than the normal fast food competition.
If somebody here is deceived it’s you. You’ve deceived yourself about why people eat at these places. Most of them say absolutely NOTHING about organic. The big claim to fame most of them have is a lack of freezers and a shorter supply chain with more local control to the franchise holders. This results in fresher ingredients, selected to please local clients.
If you’re going to be saddened at anything be saddened by you. Because you’re the only one making those arguments you think are so dumb. Nobody else here has mentioned organic, or cancer, or any of that other stuff. It’s all strawmen from you, so if you think those arguments are sad, stop making them. Meanwhile, we’re going to our fast casual places and enjoying them.
A few years ago, one market labeled the bruised produce “organic” and raised the price-they got busted...
People out here who drive the extra miles and pay the extra money for “organic” produce are the Birkenstock bunch. If I grow the veggie, or my neighbor does, then I know how organic it is-but that doesn’t happen in the winter, so I buy it in the store-most likely grown in Mexico or in a greenhouse-it is still a fresh veggie-just not as tasty as mine...
I think a lot of people miss the point of eating fresh food-fresh and not processed is healthier because nothing is added to preserve it, and free range animals are leaner and healthier-it is more about that than what goes on an avocado or asparagus when it is growing. And carbs from grains are still carbs-they make you overweight, and have little real nutrition. Carbs from fresh veggies-carrots, squash, etc have real nutritional value.
