I eat 99.99% organic food produced and sold at an organic farm in Leicestershire. Organic means that at least 95% of the ingredients must come from organically produced plants and animals. The quality and taste is unbelievably good. What is of interest though, Sainsbury's also sell organic food with Soil Association logo. The quality is somewhat different when you buy from the supermarket.

The whole organic food thing is nothing more than a big food scam on you weak minded individuals. You have not once consumed food that wasn’t organic. Organic foods are only a thing because the grocery store Whole Foods showed that they could double or triple their sales on a per sq ft basis by pushing them. Grocery stories are limited by the actual sq ft of selling space. They do not lack for products to sell so their measure of success is dollars sold per SqFt. So every other grocery sees this and wants in on the action. The vast majority of your organic comes from outside of the country. It’s nothing to fill out fraudulent paperwork and call it organic when it’s not. If you get caught it’s a small fine and you just do it again. The difference in price is too much for the immoral people to pass up. It’s called arbitrage buy low sell high. It’s as American as apple pie. How do you think that organic produce is just as perfect looking as the non organic. Wonder how the bugs were kept off? True organically grown stuff looks not nearly as perfect because in the end the bugs and disease can’t be kept off. But go ahead pay the extra it’s your money to waste.

The bugs are kept off by rotating crops that are resistant to bugs. That is how the bugs are kept off....another good reason for growing industrial Hemp.

I do not shop in Grocery Stores....do you? If so you are a weak minded individual.....

I work on an amish organic farm and reading your comments and recalling my experiences I must deduce you are full of shit.

Yes, I was a strict (even militant) organic vegan for 10 years and an organic vegetarian for over 20. Not only did that almost kill me, but it cost about 30% more money than non-organic.

The second I read Bruce Ames' 99.99% study, I instantly became a non-organic carnivore, although I do eat grass-fed when I can. Within about a week of getting rid of that toxic load from plants made me ultra healthy and dangerously smart. Also, the ontological shock of finding out that vegetables are actually bad for you made me question everything.

We all have our own remedies for a healthy lifestyle. I too had my doubts about organic food despite HRH King Charles lll waxing lyrical about his own organic homegrown produce. A recent article in Soil Association converted me for life. I'll never again eat anything other than food grown in or cattle grazed on organic soil. TPTB have always known that the chemicals and pesticides have the potential to cancer, MND, dementia, Alzheimers and Parkinsons disease. I was horrified.

Potential for cancer, maybe, but our detox systems are very efficient. Better to worry about a car accident. The cancer potential from eating vegetables is what people should be worried about. We detox vegetables constantly and that puts a strain on the system.

If I were rich I'd only go organic but the science tells me "organic" is a marketing scam. I only buy pasture-grown if cottage cheese and butter as I want the extra nutrients, and grass-fed for meat, but that's expensive, so only for ground beef. Steak can be conventional and whatever is marked way down. Note that we used to be scavengers so our stomach acid pH is around 2, like vultures.

The Andersen family is ultra fit and healthy and skinny and have eaten solely non-organic and non-grass-fed meat for 20 years. Kelly Hogan, the same for 13 years - she often gets plain fast food burger patties she calls meat cookies. Both have amazing kids.

Google "Kelly Hogan carnivore" and see (OMG!) what it's done to her and her kids. Check her before/after pics.

Do the same for "Charlene Andersen, carnivore."

Then google, "Maggie White, rancher" (65 years only meat) She's 82 - Dr. Anthony Chaffee has seen her birth certificate and drivers license.
