Thanks Dennis for your input. Personally, I
wish there was a LOT more emphasis on IPM fruit. I may have said this
before, but to me it's the way to go for commercial production. Please,
give me the choice to buy fruit that's been sprayed 2-4X instead of 24X.
But the grocery offers only conventional or organic, and I feel lucky to have
even that choice now. I think if they offered some IPM fruit, with a
little explanation of what it is, I think the public would vote yes with their
wallets.
As for Stephen's imaginary
organic apple cobbler, I have eaten something even more impossible. In
1988 I dried 4 bushels of peaches, and was forced to can another 4 dozen quarts
because the dryers were full. These peaches were grown in TENNESSEE of all
places, with no sprays or chemicals of any kind. (In fact, I had no
organic sprays either. I can't claim I grew the things, they were
volunteers in the garden and grew themselves.) It took the 5 of us 2 years
to eat them all. I think they have heavy duty chemical medications
for hallucinations like that. Donna
