If I recall correctly, organic has pesticides and all, just stopped at an early date. End of day, I don’t see and have never read a single meaningful difference between the two except the price. I also recall how many so-called organic items are not at all, just packaged to sell as such for higher profit. It is a scam all around. I’ll save my money and spend it elsewhere, maybe on a new 9mm.
Like cage-free eggs. Makes soccer moms feel better about themselves.
Those birds’ existence is in an enclosed room with many other bored birds, all pecking at each other all day long.
More ‘organic’ food is sold each year than is grown.
I rarely eat non-organic produce. I buy my meat and eggs from a local farm where they allow the animals to pasture.
Besides all the praying of chemicals, I hate the fact we have over-hybridized most of our common produce so that it no longer has any flavor. It becomes very clear how much we have lost whenever I am visiting relatives abroad. Even non-organic food bought from the local produce market, has exceptional flavor.
Reminds me of a wonderful episode of the Penn & Teller series, “Bu11$h!t”. It was all about the organic food scam/religion.
All food is organic. The term was first defined by Friedrich Wöhler in 1828. All it means is it contains carbon, and we humans are carbon-based life and must ingest carbon-laden food stuffs to survive. If it weren’t organic we wouldn’t get any sustenance from it. Therefore food remains organic even if grown with man-made antibiotics or petroleum-based fertilizers.
It’s just another term some nitwit felt the need to co-opt and redefine to his liking and to suit his ambition.
And whenever someone goes to the effort of “redefining” a longstanding term, it’s usually indicative that they’re up to something underhanded. Like when the Left conflated “gender” with “sex” when the fact is they are completely unrelated (one is a grammatical distinction and the other is biological). Or decided that Palestinian is an Arab ethnicity when until 1967, ALL Israelis were called Palestinian, even the ones who were Jewish or Christian.
All food is organic, regardless how it’s produced. Anybody says otherwise is having you on.
Big AG got the USDA to relax their standards. Organic doesn’t mean much anymore. There’s a 15 member board that controls what non organic substances can be added to the approved list which already has over 250 non organic substances on it. General Mills, Campbell’s, Whole Foods and other big names are on that board.
The same variety of tomato is going to taste pretty much the same no matter how it’s grown. Some heirloom varieties have a lot better taste but don’t ship well or produce as much. A good keeper/shipper/producer variety of tomato that tastes like cardboard is always going to taste like cardboard.
The whole concept that organic is inherently healthier and can keep you healthy is a scam.
While not using chemicals can prevent any damage that the chemicals might cause, eating organic does not *heal* you.
If that were the case, mankind would not have had the death rates it did from disease and illness that have plagued it for so many eons.
Jesus spent most of His time going around healing people of all manner of things.
They ate *organic* and unrefined diets and it didn’t seem to protect them much from physical affliction.
I’ve read stories of when missionaries go into virgin places where it’s their first contact with the outside world, and likewise, they are rife with illness and a horrific infant mortality rate.
A lot of my food has complex carbon molecules in it.
We are what we eat and I believe foods made and grown as God intended give the body the best chemistry to build with and to do all of the other things a body needs to do.
Whatever is in the water and soil goes into the plants and animals that eventually go into us. Organic sounds better to me.
The body knows what it needs, per the Designer/Creator, and it has trouble dealing with some of the other things, organic and inorganic both, we give it with the food we eat.
If you are fighting cancer or any of the many other usual diseases that kill us, a healthy diet is the best place to start that fight.
Fear of death while dying can motivate one to consider new ideas about food, like how we got so bad with food and how we can recover with food.
Many of those conditions will improve and even disappear with only better diet and lifestyle choices.
Often the body will heal itself with a quality diet and none of the bad stuff, the excess sugar, fat and salt, along with the other man-made chemistry that trick our taste buds into mindless, endless eating and drinking way beyond being full.
