it’s all the undercover crap in processed foods and the ” eat 3 times daily ” with huge portion sizes. our bodies weren’t meant to run that way. so we over work our bodies, over feed them and we come out with more health problems.
it should be a top problem since almost one out of 3 americans are either overweight or obese. which gives us the increase in health problems.
going organic isn’t a conspiracy or some fake thing made up by money hungry ceo’s but its a political money game now. if you look at how we used to eat, i.e. home-grown, honest and trustworthy farmers, our health wasn’t as bad as it is today. yes, most likely more diseases/sicknesses with all the vaccines and such but imagine if we still ate that way AND had preventions of sicknesses.

it really is personal preference but the saying you are what you eat is exactly the logo for this country.

the one thing to also keep in mind is buying IN season with almost everything. Especially veggies, has anyone noticed how expensive they can get in off season?! crazy!

So, if anything, buy in season and organic strawberries. Some places don’t hurt your pocket with organics but when its a “super”-market, eh-hem red flag should go up, they will always charge WAY more then a local farmer/grower. go straight to the source and it will almost always be way cheaper.

hope it helps! healthy crops = healthy craps!

One thing about veggies that I would like to share though – we have a friend that owns a winery in Napa. His sister (and partner) visited some farms in mexico and south america as a part of a research trip. They found that it is a common practice for farmers in those countries to grow carrots in locations previously laden with pesticides to – get this – CLEAN the soil. yikes. I would pay attention to the country of origin, and personally, I buy organic in this case as well.

Thanks for the link to the great article, too!

Besides doing your best (whatever you think that is) to eat healthy, I think organic is the least of our nation’s troubles. It’s getting fat & obese on plain ol’ unhealthy stuff =P

life expectancies may be getting longer, but our dna is getting weaker and future generations are going to have more and more problems. is it worth it?

Our DNA is getting weaker? What the heck are you talking about? Please show some proof of this ultra-liberal made-up statement you made.

Never have I heard of our DNA getting weaker. Liberals just think they can throw out stuff like this and the masses will run shaking in their boots to do whatever they said.

Sorry to be so brusque, but this is some of the biggest bunch of hooey I’ve read in a long time.

Give us some proof.
