HA, drinking green tea and lemon... for the earth (quasi) health nuts the green tea is "organic". The lemon is the 100% bottled kind. It is sour but good. Do not do sugar except in cakes, pies, and sweets.
Bought My Darling a couple boxes of emergen-c or whatever. the name is.. we shall see...
No dog in the superbowl...
Thanks BBUK. You got me going. I share your views.
What is "organic"?
I was raised on a farm. We used chicken, hog and cattle shit for fertilizer to spread on our land. We also used 'bought' phosphate and a few other things. I guess if we bought the phosphate, dug up outside Tampa, Fl, we could not claim "organic". Is that correct?
The definition of "organic" is:
Produce can be called organic if it's
certified to have grown on soil that had no prohibited substances applied for three years prior to harvest. Prohibited substances include most synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
Do you want to eat produce that the insects left for you?
What are
"synthetic fertilizers"? Being a failed chemist I know all about this stuff. If you go to your garden center and buy a bag of fertilizer it will usually contain a source of phosphate, potash and nitrogen. Having called on fertilizer companies at the railroad, so I could haul their products, I know where they get the shit. They dig up the phosphate and potash from animals that lived millions of years ago. They get the nitrogen by using air and supercharging it with electricity to bond the nitrogen atoms into an association that they don't like and the plants take that energy to make FOOD. It is called "synthetic" fertilizer because of a bunch of idiots that could not pass an organic chemistry lab if their damned lives depended on it.
I am brilliant. I got an "A" in organic chemistry.
Now let us get to pesticides: Do you want to eat your produce with bugs? How many worms do you want to knock off your lettuce before you make your salad? How many rows of corn do you want to leave to avoid eating a worm when you are eating corn on the cob? Do you like eating corn on the cob that includes the juices of some wonderful worm? Of course the worm could add a little protein, so go for it EPA types.
In the last 200 years the "West" (with no help from asia, africa et.al.) just us old racist Europeans and Americans, have come up with solutions to where we can feed over 7 billion people on this earth. I was told in 1964, my first year in college, that the earth could not sustain 4 billion humans. Modern agriculture and science is now feeding nearly double that and in the evil "West" one of our biggest problems is obesity. Why? ANSWER:
Western science.
So I protest every time I can't find a regular product that is not "organic" or "natural". I want to eat good stuff not half eaten crap that the bugs left. I love clean phosphate, potash and nitrogen fed food. I love food that has been protected from bugs and disease by pesticides. I want all these retards to eat "organic" or "natural" until they get sick and die. Leave the smart folks alone.
