Organic Food?

[Tink]

What I find comical is that people will spend a bundle on organic foods but still bathe in treated (city) water, live in cities where the air is green, etc.

I'm personally not convinced that it's possible to elimate everything that's damaging, and like with bacteria, unless we are exposed to it to build up immunities, once we are we're going to really get sick. School lunches, restaurants, and even a meal at a friends house could be a nasty ordeal if you haven't built up some resistance over time.

To qualify to be "organic" you have to have your garden a certain distance from any roads (carbon monoxide fumes) have to start with soil that's free of chemicals and have to know how to use natural forms of fertilizers and pest control. It's very regulated and even here in the middle of no-where, most people have to buy the soil and truck it in because years of farmers using chemicals on their fields has "contaminated" the soil for miles around.

Just my humble opinion.

Organic food is just soo expensive for me. Plus after this huge scare with Spinach I have to wonder if organic food is even worth it now.
