Yahoo article on orgaic foods

There's an article today through Yahoo on findings that organic foods are just as nutrient as regular food. Most people (I don't think) switch because of the nutrients. For me it's eating something that doesn't have toxic spray on it to fight insects, that could cause cancer in humans. But most important organic meat means the animal had a better quality life istead of being caged. The organic vegetables means they used environmental practices for the earth that didn't put chemicals into the ground table water and poisons that would affect the surrounding ecosystem. Local organic foods supports the local farmer who is trying to survive, taste better and it is better for the environment for food to travel less than 100 miles.

Three questions

1) What do you think when you hear the word organic?
2) What does that mean to you?
3) On some things are you willing to buy organic?


Because of the high cost of organic many can not afford it. I know, I can't sometimes. The consumer demand lately is to have more options available and with the higher demand, more companies will do it. It will eventually lower some prices. Walmart and Target are going green. I hope they're doing it for the good not because it's a money maker. Every little step we do goes a long way.

Fight for the injustice that causing harm to the earth. Customers have the power by what they buy or not buy. Pollution in all the geochemical cycles are affecting people, plants and animals.
