the organic apples taste like they came off a tree from my grandparents' farm in Poland!! The real taste really takes me back!

I ate "real food" for the first 11 years of my life so I always prefer natural/organic.. i have always eaten relatively healthy and I'm not a huge fan of fried food etc. But it bothers me how expensive organic stuff is like, how are people supposed to eat that stuff when it costs so much? annoying.

It's all about greed of course, like everything else.

i do think greed is a part of it...but it must be more difficult to grow in mass quantities without using pesticides and such...i think that's why the other stuff is cheaper cuz they can mass produce so much with chemicals.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

yeah i guess i meant more greed on the part of the other guys

i don't think the organics people are greedy.. they just have no choice

but the bad guys are greedy and dominate the market and somehow make it impossible for organics to be more readily available

it's kind of like how there's solar power but it's nearly impossible to get and not readily availalbe

and cars that dont' pollute.. they are out there but because the oil companies need to make their millions... they are not readily availalbe

Did that localharvest.org site show any farmers markets in your area? That stuff is usually way cheaper than organics in the supermarket.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

nope. We have a farmers market in our town but i don't know if it's organic actually i should find out..

Even if it's not, it better than the food at the grocery stores, because they spray it with wax, it's often shipped a long way, etc.

I read today that San Francisco is trying to make plastic grocery bags illegal - they were handing out reusable canvas bags. I think that's really cool; it's such a little thing we can all do to keep pollution and the price of oil down (because plastic is made with crude oil).

Uh, who cares what this society does about plastic bags. Jehovah is going to reverse pollution one day. Why sit there and dwell on the use of a silly bag. ;oP

are you here for the sole purpose of annoying people? i think you are. Yes, in one respect I don't think we as JW's should get crazy worried about the Ozone layer depleting and stuff like that because Jeh. wouldn't let the earth burn up...but why not do things so as to not ADD to the pollution?

No sense of humors on here. I like to annoy certain people. Why you might ask? Because they get all perturbed so easily. Am I mean? Yes. But it brings the entertainment factor to a nice level instead of boring conversation like:

"So yeah I had a cup of tea with honey today. It was scrumptuous."

"Oh yeah! I had a biscotti with my cappucino today."

"Wow! We should hook up and have lunch at Panera."

Snore.......

lol... you're such a fire starter!

anyway I want to have solar power in my house, i want a hybrid car or an even more natural fuel car if possible, or to just ride my bike around town .. and i want one of those huge windmills in my backyard (lol).. those things are awesome and i want to see more of them!

One person cannot change the world.. but the world can change for that one person! RIGHT?? i'd love to breathe cleaner air, eat real food, and not contribute to the pollution etc.. might as well somewhat enjoy life right?

and i would like my cup of tea with honey please

Haha... It's fun!

You should read that Detox Diet book I reviewed in the book forum. I think it's right up your alley.

This has me thinking about the farmers market that's in my town. My grandmother loves it but, I've never really investigated for myself. I think ours has organic produce but, also fresh baked goods =)

Might pick up popularity as the weather improves like our new Ben & Jerry's nice places to stop after long day in service with the longer days...I'm so excited!
