I don't care either, I just want to be assured that what I am reading on the label is true (nutrition label) and the ingredients used too.

A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.

Can you please make good posts for once?

I personally don't really check if its organic or not, I check mostly for freshness and nutritional facts. But I'll generally try to buy veggies from around here to support local farmers etc.

I eat nothing but potatoes anyway and I'm far too poor to buy organic foods.

dietcoke do you get your foodstuffs at a co-op? if so id like to hear about it! my closest contact with one was this king of the hill episode i watched last week soooo

are they all smelly marxist nutters or what basically

co-op or farmers markets. I'll hit some of the chains if I'm lazy though.

the facilities and foods at the co-op are actually cleaner than anywhere else I've shopped for food at. The snow/snap peas are never mushy, no wax on the cucumbers, never seen a rotten piece of fruit, etc. Plus they pay the people working there enough to care.

What is the deal with a co-op in America? In the UK co-op is just another supermarket chain, best I can tell. It's got more vegetarian and organic stuff, but it's still just a chain.

I bet you can't even tell the difference

I can. I can taste the wax on conventional cucumbers vs. organic ones.

he has one patient that's allergic to eggs and has been her whole life but she really likes baking and so she makes cakes for everybody even though she's never tasted one

You can make cakes without eggs but I do this too at work I'll make things that I don't eat.

I went to visit a friend who lived in Puyallup which is right next to Tacoma and like 30 min. from Seattle. It was sweet other than it rained pretty much the whole week I was there.

not about food but still about pesticides

a) "We shouldn't assume that pesticides caused these cancers, but our findings certainly support the need for more robust research in this area"
b) big difference between using pesticides in your home and having them used on farms
c) why am i even trying
