Organic

How many of you have fallen for the organic food scam? I suspect every lib and person who lives in California. I like the taste of fresh vegetables from my garden, but have never paid the hefty premium for the scammer's organic varieties in the store. Well it looks like the scam has been scientifically uncovered.

A systematic review of 162 scientific papers published in the scientific literature over the last 50 years, however, found there was no significant difference.

So just because there are a lot of libs and their propaganda main stream media who push one of the lib schemes does not make it true, no matter how many times they repeat themselves and act so smug like they think they are smarter than anyone else. I hope they continue to throw their money away on their scientifically proven waste.

Jim, why would a good capitalist like you want to interrupt somebody's good business scheme? This isn't a liberal plot to "take over" America's food production and make everybody eat expensive organic. You have a choice to buy cheaper, industrial farm-produced food if you want, as I do. Lots of family farms have been able to make it by going organic and selling their produce at a higher price. Bully for them. I personally don't go out of my way (or my wallet) to buy organic, but in general, who cares? It's a free country.

Ahh, you mean smarter like Laura Bush?

Who would have expected the wife of a conservative to push a liberal, yuppie loving, organic lifestyle agenda down the throats of visitors to the White House? Where's the outrage!! America needs chemicals and herbicides on its veggies!

You're really losing it, Jim.

There is big problem with this report in the following paragraph in the article:

"Our review indicates that there is currently no evidence to support the selection of organically over conventionally produced foods on the basis of nutritional superiority."

I'm sure that the non-organic foods give you a lot more juicy, nutritious pesticides.

As far as fresh fruits are concerned, I'll take organic every time. Most non-organic fruits are picked long before puberty and often never get ripe. Nutritional values may be similar, but organic wins the taste and texture test hands down.
