You gots ta CAGE those tomaters.And the damn birds eat them way before I ever get a chance to.
I lean towards organic, but yeah, it's expensive.
I buy organic apples religiously at the local food co-op (5 pounds a week) because they are far superior in flavor to standard grocery store fare, including their organic offerings. It's like comparing apples and .... bad apples.
On the other hand, organic carrots don't get the time of day from me, because I peel them all with a "potato" peeler (again, 5 pounds per week), which I presume knocks out most of the "bad stuff."

Hey man, I got your cds on Saturday, but havne't listend to them because I forget to bring them with me.
Anyhow, whats your opinion on organic animal products?
The purple CD sucks. Save it for last.
For the record, I am back on the omnivore bandwagon. Appropriately, I will refrain from questioning your footprint on the environment with your omni ways.
Regarding organic meat. I'm skeptical, if only because the rules for organic meat are fuzzy. I say, if you want to consume beef, buy it from a local source, if for no other reason, you live in Texas. Texas beef rules. One of my first culture shocks when I relocated to Mississippi was that the beef in my local grocery store sucked. Organic is nice, but freshness and age is what really matters.
Bottom line, if you are eating dead flesh, the fresher the dead flesh, the tastier in my book.
1369 will back me up on this.
EDIT TO ADD: I still don't eat red meat, because people who eat red meat tend to be full of - LITERALLY.
Damn...you act like everybody who doesn't eat red meat doesn't take a .
Duff, red meat tends to ac ulate in the colon, or so I have "red."
Because meat has no fiber.
It's not like humans can digest fiber anyway.
Yes, exactly!
I was gonna say the same exact thing!
We're both in tears over here at the moment. Nice.
Organic foods are for s.
Well then, I guess you will be spending lots of time contributing to this thread.
If god didn't want us to eat he'd have made gluttony a sin.
He did.If god didn't want us to eat he'd have made gluttony a sin.
Sequ didn't eat organic, and look WTF happened to him.
Yeah, but he was great in Time Bandits
I have a sneaking su ion that Duff has owned a handful of posters in this thread. He out-Duffed you guys.

I had freaking bird netting around them. Besides getting myself tangled in them, and them frying in the heat, it just wasn't worth the hassle.
Not true.
It is possible for colonic blockages, but these are pretty rare. What causes it are heavy use of downers which will slow the pushing motion of your large intestine.
As far as ac ulating in the colon - ac ulating a half pound or so of material does happen, but it would cause your colon to swell to twice the diameter, causing severe bleeding and pain. Its pretty much impossible to have more ac ulation than that.
No, I think that happend on the second one, but I think the first one was outright stupidity.
well...whatever ac ulates can damn well be cleaned out...I had a colonoscopy last year and that damn " tail" my doctor gave me to get ready for it was uhhh...shall we say...very effective? We are talking serious projectile poop here...sonofa didn't warn me...the toilet needed splash zone signs like Shamu's swimming pool...As far as ac ulating in the colon - ac ulating a half pound or so of material does happen, but it would cause your colon to swell to twice the diameter, causing severe bleeding and pain.

^^^^ Sounds like being in labor!
It ain't very pretty!
I've been doing the same lately, at least as much as I've been able to. In addition to eating organic, I've been trying to avoid anything with ingredients that I don't recognize. I haven't been eating many preservatives. And manufactured sweeteners like Splenda and Aspartame are absolutely out.
I've been thinking a lot about what the body is designed to eat and what I put into it. I just can't imagine that my body should be ingesting sugar subs utes that can't be digested or preservatives or hormones or pesticides.
Simple is better as far as I'm concerned. I've been having something like fish with rice and vegetables for dinner. Red meat is eaten rarely, and other meats are consumed in moderation. We've been buying hormone-free and antibiotic-free chicken. I don't trust beef because of the way it's processed and because of the whole mad cow deal. As a replacement, I've been using ostrich. It tastes quite like beef and it's much leaner. It works well in just about everything, but it can get dry if it is overcooked. It's really good, and as far as I know, the animals don't suffer from mad ostrich disease. I'm with Guru on this one; local is best if you can get it that way.
I've also wondered about milk from cows. I like milk and cheese and still consume those products quite a bit, but it just seems incredibly unnatural to ingest mothers milk from another animal. The thought of drinking cats milk or dogs milk or pigs milk isn't appealing to me, so eating cows milk shouldn't either. What's the difference?
I haven't been able to convert to soy milk because I'm not used to it yet, but I'm working on it.
Organic foods can be inexpensive if you look hard enough and are flexible. You may need to get some frozen foods, but it can be done on a budget.
I'm still not where I need to be, but I'm off to a good start.
