Jackie.....
You are so sadly misinformed. Although I
think your heart is in the right place, your facts are misconstrued and/or just
wrong. I highly recommend you do some further research on
pesticide/herbicide/antibiotic/growth hormone use & residues; policies
& practices in confined animal feeding operations as well as the effects of
our current movement towards huge agribusiness conglomerates. I think if
you do some reading with an open mind, you will change your
views. I'm afraid that your post sounds frighteningly like John
Stossel's 20/20 rant about organic food from several years back.....a
report that he & ABC were forced to take back & apologize for on
the air. If I may, I'd like to suggest you read at least one of the
following books. Although these books are just a few of the many I've
found very enlightening, they are all very, very easy reads (except for the
subject matter). "Eat Here. Reclaiming Homegrown Pleasues in a
Global Supermaket" by Brian Halweil; "The Way We Eat. Why our Food
Choices Matter" by Peter Singer & Jim Mason; "Real Food. What to Eat
and Why" by Nina Planck and/or 'Animal, Vegetable, Miraclel. A Year
of Food Life" b Barbara Kingsolver. You might also invest in a
subscription to Organic Gardening Magazine -- or -- just become a careful reader
of your newspaper, where recent stories about the FDA & USDA should be
enough to scare anyone into eating organically!
