Poll: Organic Food or Processed Food?

[Dogstar]

They won't. They believe whatever they're told. Christopher Columbus was the first person in America, Climate Change is natural and not accelerated for reasons known and Jmarcus Webb is a great LT.

Your mom plays LT.

Ole...we usually have a lot left over...but we gave some to the neighbor and they didn't seem to mind. There is a ton that you get weekly even with a 1/2 bushel

Plus...this year we were able to make a lot of baby food with the carrots and squash

I used to work at an organic farm in Caledonia Illinois. (If any of you are interested in getting a box weekly you can contact them, it's called Angelic Organics. )CSA Link

From my experience, there were no pesticides used ever, and the fruits and vegetables were literally twice the size of what you would buy at any grocery store.

Every veggie was so safe that you could eat it directly from the plant in the field, enjoyed many a cucumber, tomato, and pepper this way.

I am about to switch my major in school to horticulture science because i very much believe that being able to support yourself and your family organically is the best way to eat and stay healthy.

Hoping to start my own farm after completion down here in Georgia!

My girlfriend and I have actually been working on renting a particular house down here with farm land in the last couple of days to get it started! (maybe personally since it is a smaller plot)

But what are we going to do now that twinkies are dying?

Don't count out the twinkie just yet!

Try organic black berries vs non-organic black berries. You'll surely taste the difference. If you dont' then it is probably the aspertame dulling your taste buds.

A lot of that is because conventional farmers spray crops with a hormone that causes them to retain water. That results in heavier fruit and more money, but more diluted sugars and thus flavor. Its part of the reason organic fruit tends to be so much smaller.

You can even get the shit for growin weed.

you have to be careful..alot of companies will say organic when they are still in some way using chemicals for the food. with that said i try to eat organic but if im out i just try to eat real foods even if not organic.

That's pretty much my approach too. I buy organic, but not all the time. What I really try to avoid is processed bullshit, HFCS, stuff made out of white flour, stuff containing TFAs etc.

I just prioritize my diet.

ie: Organic beef still has more cholesterol than a GMO Spinach (DUH right?). So if someone were to cut down on certain fats, you choose according.

What's the saying when in a supermarket? Stick to the perimeter aisles mainly and buy nothing with more than 7 ingredients or ingredients grandma wouldn't recognize.

Throw balance and moderation in there somewhere, and you should be good to go.

Not all cholesterol isbad for you. The cholesterol in eggs for example is awesome for you.

I've heard the perimeter aisles thing before..."shop on the edges". Never the thing about the # of ingredients / grandma wouldn't recognize, although it makes sense for the most part.

People who chose processed really need to do some research for their own benefit.

I didn't vote but it depends how you take the question.

Yes organic will have more nutrition with less contamination, but it's less efficient and yields smaller crops.

Id vote for a genetically altered humanity without starvation across the globe over a healthier crop for myself.

The less ingredients in a product, the better it usually is for you.

It's true that some fats are good, and other are bad. I was just pointing out that processed and organics aren't comparable as a whole. Sometimes the processed is a better choice(health-wise). But they are better compared to the same food.
