I was recently sitting at my desk, eating strawberries. For one reason or another, the thought of "Are these organic?" popped into my head. Of course, I don't really care if they are or not, it just struck me as interesting and so I started delving into the whole 'organic' theme a little deeper.
Why Organic?
It's not like organic foods grow any different. The only difference is that they don't have any pesticides or any of the extra "crap" that gets put into foods. And some of that "crap" they put into the foods is needed for us because we don't get enough of it in our daily diets. Why? Because we don't like certain foods and so the people in food industry have had to find someway to pump it in our bodies. Therefore, there's nothing wrong with Non-Organic foods. So what's the big deal?
Sure, pesticides are "bad." But would you rather bite into a delicious fruit to find that it was eaten inside out by insects or would you rather take the two seconds to clean it off? Personally, I'd rather clean the damned thing. I mean, it's not that big of a deal, is it? Run it under the water for a couple of seconds and you're good. No big deal. And that only really applies to food that you eat the skin of, too. Like apples, corn, grapes, peaches, etc. Melons and oranges are exempt of needing to be cleaned to be "safe" for you to eat.
I don't see the entire struggle for making everything organic. Doesn't that take up more money than non-organic because of the hassle of converting everything and getting rid of the crops that fail because of insect invasions on it? That's why it costs so much for organic foods, isn't it? I mean, for non-organic foods we pay quite a bit less. And they add all that extra "crap" in it, don't they? So why pay more for a food that they do nothing to? It's because they're making us pay for the crops that were lost to insects because they didn't have pesticides and insecticides on them.
So, with that in mind, I would like for you to answer the following questions if you could and would be so kind. • What's the big deal with organic foods? • Is there any difference between tastes in Organic and Non-Organic foods? • Where do you stand on the issue with organic foods? Why?
