do you want to eat poop and bugs with your food or do you want chemicals?
no right answer
Don’t know what to believe.
I remember that a new study found that man is causing the
earth to get warmer and we were going to burn up in
10 years.
What I do know is that scientists will lie like an Obama
to get funding. Science and its scientists have been so
politicized that they are totally untrustworthy.
Yeah...yeah. That’s fine, but let me ask you a question, lady bug breath, tell me why it is that organic milk lasts ten times longer before going bad in the frig compared to regular non-organic milk? Huh? Huh? Huh? :-)
I seem to remember 2 major groups from my college chemistry classes; Organic and inorganic.
I won’t eat organic crap!!
I don’t know if GMO will give me cancer or not, but I do know that my digestive system is fine with non-GMO tomatoes and gives me several days of intestinal distress with GMO. As for the lack of pesticides and eating the occasional bug that come gratis with organic, I’ll take my chances with organic.
We live next door to a 1200 head dairy. Tons to manure to deal with. I’ll give you three guesses what we fertilize our garden and hay pastures with and the first two guesses don’t count.
Best fertilizer there is.
There is clearly reason for concern though in that some POPs disrupt the endocrine and reproductive systems, affect intelligence and the nervous system, can be found at high levels in tumors and diseased tissues of other types, and have harmful impacts on wildlife. Such associations and the epidemiological evidence suggest that POPs have a role in some human disease processes and may otherwise impair health and normal development.
Eating organic food goes only so far in avoiding POPs. Plastic and plastic lined food containers are also a problem, especially if they are heated or used in cooking. Similarly, furniture, floor coverings, and clothes have and emit a wide range of chemicals, some of which are already established as problematic.
Most likely, as the science advances in the next few decades, more and more of the chemicals that we routinely put into the environment and our bodies will be called into question and substitutes developed. For now, eating organic and otherwise trying to avoid POPs will be difficult, expensive, and incomplete, and may -- or may not -- be worthwhile.
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?

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.
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.
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.
