My rant in Cafe Mom

It’s the B***hit show, they have it on Youtube. My hubby watched it. I love how they pick extremes in situations: people, companies and tastings. They were making people blind taste organic vs/ non-organic banana. And then were laughing at all the hard core organics extremists picking the non-organic banana.

I buy organic for many reasons. There are fruits and veggies that will not be affected in the taste region but I still buy them organic because of ethical issues. Yes, I know banana’s will come from Third World countries, but is that a reason they should be living with pesticides around them? You know, a lot of these farmers are actually getting paid more per pound of organic produce.

I buy diary only organic and grass-fed because here, nutrients do differ. But they didn’t show that on the B***hit show. I order all our milk and cheese supply from a small grass farmer. Same with eggs – no corn feed.

All our meats now come from small farms with only grass-fed and milk fed animals. So we buy less, a lot less meat in order to afford it. But my hubby agrees with me and started eating smaller portions. He lost weight and feels great.

The show brought a good point that organic in a mass market is completely different that what organic is considered in our minds and by small farmers. Now, you have to be an organic locavore and support small and ethical farmers. Nice description, but this is how our government allowed big farms to change the laws around.
