Too expensive.

It is too costly and you can just eat frozen veggies instead. much better than the reg. produce.

I can't tell the differance in taste... why spend 300% more?

After seeing supersize me, and noticing how I feel when I eat foods with junk in them, I rarely eat anything that's not organic. I read somewhere that fast food companies put 25 different addictive additives in their cookies to get every ethnic group to be addicted to them, aparently it takes different chemicals to get the job done.

You read this in a health magazine I reckon?

Not saying that fast food is good for you, just saying that it's a huge exaggeration.

Organic =| Healthy

In many places regulations are exceedingly lax and the label organic means next to nothing.

For example, tomatoes could be grown in the same place as marigolds and still be labelled organic. Of course, the poisons from the marigold plant may leach into the tomatoes. But that's ok, right? Cause the marigold poison is all-natural.

The fresher the better, and the more rich and natural the soil, the more tiny amounts of minerals the plants soak up.

If you've had fresh food from a small farm, the aroma and flavor are overwhelming. It may be that food in grocery stores just becomes more bland smelling over time, but there also might be something that's actually lost when you've got factory farms and long-term storage.

I love simply cooked fresh meat, veggies, and potatoes.

Go get some farm-fresh or garden-fresh food and remind your body of what it's supposed to eat.

Damn it's good.

I eat organic veggies, and my sister makes bread from scratch and leaves it on my doorstep a couple of times a week. (She lives two floors below me.)

I haven't bought organic meat since 2003, as the gods of the hunt are generous to me. I have a freezer half-full of venison, salmon, and trout, plus the rapidly-diminishing remainder of an 80-lb. halibut I landed in Alaska last year. I hope to be stocked with cottontail and grouse once the seasons open. I so love living in the Northwest.

I have noticed -- particularly in the last two years that I've been subsisting mainly on wild game at home -- that eating organic food gives me more energy, particularly in the mornings. I go to a lot of business dinners and I often wake up the next morning feeling awful, even if I hadn't drunk much.

Don't get me started on the things I eat when I'm overseas.

I'm thinking about having a massive barbecue for my friends (and their friends) next month just to clean out the freezer before early season starts -- I drew a doe tag! Yummy.

I prefer to eat organic, and I'd eat all organic if I could. What's stopping me? Supermarkets.

If the supermarkets, (at least those in the UK) didn't have such high standards for their fruit and vegetables, rejecting potatoes with small bruises on, mishapen carrots etc. then they wouldn't have to charge so much for organic food.

There was a programme on UK television last night about the state of supermarkets. One organic potato farmer didn't even bother sending off 15% of his yield to the sorting depots, because they had small blemishes or weren't a perfect oval shape. Of the potatoes he did send, a further 25% were rejected. This means he needs a higher price for the potatoes which are actually accepted by the supermarkets.

There's also the issue of quality. A farmer told how his crop of sprouts were taken by lorry to a warehouse, driven to an airport, flown over to the Poland to be trimmed and sorted, flown back over to the UK to end up at the farmer's local supermarket.

The programme presenter went over to Madrid with some tomatoes from a UK supermarket, and got some Spaniards to eat them. What did they say? 'Insipid' or 'tasteless'.

The fruit and vegetables abroad are of much higher quality and better in taste, as well as probably being higher in nutrients.

I don't know what it's like in the USA, but here the fruit and vegetables are either out of season, yet still on sale, or tasteless.

 

[bullmoose]

In my experience, most of the food in the UK is insipid or tasteless. :crackup:

Only (well, mostly) kidding, of course.

 

[Warboss Alex]

Food IS insipid and tasteless in the UK .. I come from Cyprus originally and whenever I go there the difference in the food is amazing.

The veggies are so fresh in Cyp that they still taste earthy ..

 

[JaguarMike]

Warboss alex, I don't know what nationality you are, but if you eat fast food cookies, additives specifically calculated for race are added in. I'm irish and spanish, and there are 2 chem.'s in the food that are addictive to my genes. A study was done, but I need to find the article, i'll ask my friend for it he told me about it. And generalizing, yeah it is, but I will prove it by sending the article.

Do we have to hunt the cow ourselves (for authenticity) or will shop-bought steak do?

 

[Phoenix_of_the_ashes]

What does "organic" mean in this context? Because technicly(chemicaly) all food is organic.

 

[SSben]

yeah u gotta hunt the cows urself, but the gows are bad now so u gotta hunt other animals wild game, try venison

 

[Warboss Alex]

Organic here means grown without chemical assistance - kinda like me!
