I do not care if the food I eat is organic or not as long as it is not expensive. I could care less if the chickens I eat were raised in a big industrial barn or roamed around outside or if the produce was grown with or without pesticides. It irritates me that cooking shows has bought into this nonsense of using organic. Can anyone without some agenda to push honestly say there is a distinguishable difference in taste? Those pesticides,fertilizers and hormones are used for a reason and without them food would be more expensive and require more land to grow and unless that stuff was grown locally it is not going to make a environmental impact verses buying non-organic. If organic food is in something I eat its not because I actively went looking for organic.
 
I do sometimes, because my wife is big into "organic" foods. I actually cannot let her go shopping by herself, because its all she would buy and we would go over budget. She would seriously pay like $6 for a jar of peanut butter, if it said "All natural/Organic". We compromise and she picks up a few things, so I end up eating some of it.

Does a 6 dollar jar of organic peanut butter taste better than a cheaper name brand jar of the same size and flavor?

She had some peanut butter that was ground up right in front of you, that was supposedly organic. Like you pull a little lever, and it grinds up or squeezes out peanut butter. It did taste different. Bad enough I told her to never buy that **** again.
 
“Organic food” is a misnomer, since anything produced by a biological process as food must be organic. What is generally meant by “organically grown produce,” is “grown in poop and rotting things that would make your skin crawl to touch.”

Nom nom.

So in the true sense, I eat mostly organic foods. But I dont go for the “labeled organic” stuff.

I think the econuts decided to use that term to hype up that type of food and so you do not feel like a dumbass paying more for the same kind of food but had less involvement in its growth.
 
Simple question and explain why.

**** no.
I have some sense.
Like a apple that costs 50p more will taste any damn different

Anyone buy free-range chicken or eggs from free-range chickens?

I buy organic meats when I can because I'm allergic to some of the **** they give other animals.

I buy organic sugar pretty exclusively because sugar isn't supposed to be white and the organic stuff tastes better since it's less processed.

I like sea salt instead of regular salt when I can find it.

I buy organic fruits when I can (especially strawberries) because they are by far superior in my experience. Plus, I'd just like to limit the amount of pesticides I ingest.

I don't know about organic specifically, but the homestyle kind is FAR better. You know the ones where the peanut butter and oil separate in the jar? That is tons better than the other ****.
 
"I like sea salt instead of regular salt when I can find it."

Now that's just too funny.

With reasoning like that, I rest my case against the stupidity of this organic scheme.

Care to explain?
 
I always thought it was over-hyped, over-price bull**** that had no benefits.

Turns out I was right.

Thats not entirely true. While it may not have any nutritional benefits which should have been obvious you will not get alot of the harmful chemicals that are applied to non-organic crops.

So that is the definition of "organic"? No harmful chemicals. what is a harmful chemical vice a good chemical?

Yes I do and I also try to eat Free Range Beef and Pork, it cost a tad more but it taste very different then stuff from the markets.

I go to a local Free Range Farm to get my stuff. They also have Buffalo,Deer and Elk.
 
Yes. Salt is salt. Whether it comes from the seas or from minds, it's just salt......sodium chloride. If you want to pay more for organic sea salt, be my guest.

You are incorrect. Unprocessed Sea salt has a different flavor and texture due to the fact that it's unprocessed and contains many minerals not found in table salt (since they are processed out of table salt), and lacks the additives that are put in table salt during processing. Table salt is about 99.9% NaCl, with some additives they put in. Sea Salt has at least 2% natural minerals that are beneficial to the body, and gives it a different flavor. Different minerals are present in sea salts depending on where they are gathered. (different flavors too)

If you really think "salt is salt", you need to do some research hon. I'd be happy to post some information for you about all the different salts and how they're used if you'd like.
 
I don't worry if its organic or not. I don't eat processed food or any kind of junk food, soft drinks, alcohol, cigarettes.
 
Sometimes but it cost too damn much:(

Nope. Seasalt is much better and stronger. I use it and Kosher salt when cooking. They are not the same.
