Organic food?

[Funk]

Anyone ever tried some of this real food before? I had some organic apples and they were very good. Better than an apple that is genetically-altered, pumped full of pesticide, red dye to make it look extra appetizing. I tried finding organic meat to try some, but alas, neither of my local markets had any, but they had a meager selection of fruits, vegetables, and some other organic treats. Personally, I think I'm getting sick from all of the man-made food I eat, so I decided to try something a little more natural.

No, but I had some Hostess cupcakes.

They're sorta organic right?

I had all-natural potato chips once. There was a bunch of green chips inside, I'll never eat natural again.

I'm surprised Hostess hasn't lobbied to the FTC to get an 'all-natural' label on their cupcakes. Prego got away with it, but now Prego has an organics line on top of its other sauce, which pretty much means they stuck their feet in their mouths.

I know. I'm sick of hearing about the oil companies and I want to hear some good dirt on the FDA, the FTC, and the pharmaceutical companies.

Re: Organic food?

I ate only organic food for a while when I went up North. A lot of it is way better than the man-made stuff, but an equal amount is utter anus.

Most of my organic food journeys have been pleasant, except for this one time I accidentally bit into this wierd green fruit and ended up having diarhhea for a while.

Come to think of it, I'm not 100% sure it was totally organic.

I have my own garden, and eat 'organic' whenever it is affordable. You can get it for normal or even cheap prices at Farmers Markets and stuff.

I don't mean organic as in certified by Uncle Scam and tilled with biodiesel run tractors organic, but organic as in non genetically altered, non processed, not pumped with chemicals. You know, the way food used to be before the 1980s and the way food is in most other countries.

Lots I could share.

What topics you interested in?

Cancer and gastrointestinal legions from genetically altered crops? Mad cow disease? Pharmaceutical companies selling drugs when the FDA hasn't adequately tested them? The U.S. government planning forced drugging of school children after giving them proposed tests on mental fitness as the government defines it(With the pharmaceutical industry backing it because it will net them more money)? Corn syrup and junk food? Deregulation of the pharmaceutical industry and its push to remove all testing of side effects of its products?

I have tried to incorporate some organic food products into my diet. So far, no problems.
