I pick and choose. my seeds, my chickpeas and my frozen peas are organic…but most everything else is regular.

back when I was trying to be health conscience and "loving myself’ I would buy organic. boy do I feel like a fool now.

I sometimes eat organic but not intentionally.

My friend gets this thing called home chef. They deliver you meals in the mail to cook and it’s really good. I help him cook it’s fun. The other day I cooked the whole meal for him.

It may or may not be organic.

I try to eat organic fruits and vegetables because of pesticides and whatnot, but I can’t find all of the fruits and vegetables I like to be organic (at least not at Publix).

I do look for GMOs and the other bad stuff that I can’t remember at this moment.

Animal products like meat, eggs, milk, cheese nearly 100% organic, maybe 95%, like when eating out.

The rest I’d like to. But I cant really afford to eat organic. For animal products I don’t want to make an exception though, because I find it important how they are treated.

So I said yes&no.

I tried some organic foods back in the mid-2000s, and I found it to be very hit and miss. So many of the things I tried tasted too bland, so I gave up on organic foods. All I really care about with my food is that it tastes good. So I voted hell no.

Organic simply means it contains Carbon.
It does Not mean it was grown pesticide free, or without chemical intervention.

Don’t be fooled by the overpriced label of “Organic,”
better to use the money to support your local farmers and buy locally, not just because it tastes so much better, but because without them, you have no idea what your next meal may be made of…

Think “Soylent Green.”

Organic is a pointless luxury.

There are different definitions of organic. You’re looking at the definition as used in organic chemistry, though not all carbon-containing compounds are chemically considered organic. Carbon dioxide, for example. An organic chemistry professor would tell you that carbon dioxide is an inorganic compound.

Whether or not food is “organic” has nothing to do with it having carbon in it.

yeah its the little green label that means it better for me. that’s all I knew. I bought the hype

somebody told me today that Aldi’s was going to go all organic. a big departure from the Aldi’s of my youth

Yeah. It means, among other things, that they don’t give their animals antibiotics when they’re ill and don’t use the most environtmentally friendly plant strains because they’ve been engineered to be more effective.

There are good things, too. But you really have no way of knowing if that “organic” stamp is really a good thing. There’s a big chance it isn’t. It certainly isn’t better for your health. I won’t waste my money on a meaningless stamp. If they came up with something actually informative, I probably would spend my money on some of those good things.

I’d still go GMO all the way, though. Everyone should.

I eat free range organic eggs, not necessarily because they are healthier for me, but because the hens are treated better and have better living conditions.

They’ve done stories and reports on this where I’m from and have not been able to show that free range chickens are treated better.

I think the problem is that there aren’t any common, good, and clear standards for what these labels really mean and you really don’t often know what you’re buying.
