Is this why America is so fat? Because when you go to a store, the healthy, organic style foods are higher priced than the man-made processed stuff. Doesn’t it cost more to make up fake food than to grow a garden? Why isn’t the good fruits and vegitables cheaper than the canned corn and instant mashed potatoe like stuff?
So. I was wondering what other people think about the organic foods debate, so if you think they are the only foods are good or if some foods don’t matter.
I for one only eat unprocessed foods. I only buy organic meat and eat wild game. In the summer I garden all my vegetables and herbs. But in the winter I buy everything from the store and only my greens and herbs organic. And I make all my own bread and granola bars and everything.
What’s are everyone else’s opinions on this matter? Are organic foods just a trend to some people? Just cause they are organic are they healthy? and anything else you want to throw in!
now that she’s started a vegetable garden
Real, scientific websites with research on presence (or lack of) of pesticides and fertiilizer in foods, as opposed to hippie dippy garden of eden preachy-with-no-backup stuff.
Thanks!
What are the benefits. I am going to start my own organic garden next year, and buy organic beef from my friend who has a cow farm. Is it over rated or a very good thing?

Von’s?
stater bros?
albertsons?
Can you help me understand organic foods? Organic means that the foods were grown with out pesticides or fertilizers, right? does that mean all fertilizers, or just chemical fertilizers? I’m going to be using my compost to fertilize my garden and am not using chemicals (we have well water). Will that mean that the food I grow is organic because there’s no chemical fertilizer, or isn’t organic because I’m using fertilizer?
I would like to know the difference between organic vitamins, food based and fermented? I buy food based supplements and fermented vitamins from the store theinternetmostwanted.com and so far excellent results, I buy new chapter, mega food and garden of life brands, but I really would like to know what difference is, thanks!
The vegetables now are filled with pesticides, poison and all sorts of things which causes cancer, etc. Despite all those, is it even healthy not to eat vegetables or not to eat them? What’s the pros and cons? Also, if I buy vegetables with the label Organic on top of it, what does it mean? Someone told me it means they use organic fertilizers, but still, pesticides are used. Someone also told me that organic means they are grown naturally, no pesticides whatsoever. So, what’s the bottom line here?
I found this stuff sitting on the shelf on my local Smith’s. Someone help me with this one. How can ketchup be organic?
Ok so maybe the tomatoes and spices are grown more naturally without chemicals or hormones… but eh… it sits on a shelf. Which means it has preservatives. And it keeps as long as regular ketchup, which again means it has preservatives. Can preservatives be organic?
When I think organic, I think of fresh from the garden vegetables. Fresh of the tree, or vine, fruits. Fresh from the farm meats. I cannot see bottled, canned or other prepackaged items as organic.
You’re right, I haven’t been to a Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods. But I have a garden at my home. So most of my veggies are from that. I think this whole organic thing is a major marketing ploy if you really wanna know.
