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.
Agree with you totally and prefer to grow heirloom varieties versus what is called produce tody.
Fresh from my chicken eggs fed mealworms or her forage of bugs etc is an amazing experience. Intense flavor even if a bit smaller but worth it. When I lived in Oklahoma we bought fresh from the cow milk unpasteurized and I never had a problem. Neighbors sharing what they were producing was great and they were not planting thousands of acres. I have grown many things and the quality and taste is undeniable. And last learn how to “put up” your own veggies etc (can or jar) and it is amazing what you can get from even a smallish garden.
Choose what you want but all of the other items on the ingredients in the can tell me all I need to know.
