GO ORGANIC?
GO ORGANIC!
YES, GO ORGANIC!!!
It is strongly recommended that you avoid at least the most pesticide contaminated conventional produce (see the "dirty dozen").
Eating mostly certified organic instead is not only better for your health and the environment, we believe it is critical to long term health and longevity, especially for children.
Despite agribusiness propaganda to the contrary, ORGANIC FOODS ARE MORE NUTRITIOUS!
When my grandparents were young all food was organically grown!
Now so called "conventional" food crops are treated with multiple pesticides which by their very nature are toxic and designed to persist on the plants through rain and irrigation.
What limited safety testing done is only on individual pesticide chemicals not the multiple chemical mixtures created on our food plants.
Independent tests have shown that mixing even two of these toxic chemicals together creates a mixture many times more poisonous than expected.
In the fields it is not uncommon for several different pesticides to be used on one crop.
Nobody knows how toxic these on-the-plant-pesticide-soups really are!
DON'T BE A GUINEA PIG IN THIS VAST, UNCONTROLLED TOXIC EXPERIMENT!
VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLARS!
Whenever possible BUY ORGANIC for yourself and your family!
Meat in moderation is not a problem!
Tainted meat and dairy are a very, very big problem!
Animal sourced foods must be untainted!
The easiest way to ensure clean meat and dairy is to buy organic!
At the very least buy products sourced from animals raised on a vegetarian diet with no hormones and no antibiotics (this still leaves the possibility of pesticide contamination so diner beware).
"Conventionally" raised food animals (i.e. those from feed lots, factory farms, aquaculture, fish farms, etc.) are often routinely fed low doses of antibiotics to boost weight gain and possibly reduce the likelihood of infections due to compromised immunity arising from extreme crowding, related high stress levels, and probable pesticide exposure. This inevitably leads to/has led to the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria like MRSA (a.k.a. flesh eating bacteria, multi-drug resistant staph, etc.) and E.coli that threaten human health. In addition to antibiotics, in too many cases these animals are given feed contaminated with pesticides or are even intentionally fed insecticides to control flies that otherwise thrive in the copious fecal matter (this is called "feed-though insecticide"). And these are only two among too many significant problems to go into here.
