A matter of preference...

<>A great argument for organic food hit me the other day...Some people say it's too expensive to buy healthy organic food and they can't afford it. But I say your doctor's bill will balance out the money down the line when your paying 400 bucks a month for your cholesterol medecine. Or when you need that thousand doller triple by-pass surgery from your clogged arteries.

I guess it's just a matter of chosing who you want to support. Organic farmers trying to change the world and make your life a little healthier and easier, or corrupt doctors trying to profit with pharmaceutical drug pushers... If you don't believe their drug pushers, just go to your local doctor's office and watch what's on the TV for 15 minutes and think about that idea while your watching it. Just think about it. Or think about it next time you see some new drug advertised on the evening news...It doesn't take much to realize their real agenda with a little bit of research and mindfullness. Animals in nature live plenty healthy without their script of zyaxetrin and albuterol... And they don't seem to be suffering from any side effects from a natural raw food diet. Animals seem to be a lot happier too don't you think? I don't know what the exact fact on this, but I'm almost positive that humans are probably the sickest animals on Earth and their living the smallest portion of their natural life span. If you want to cure cancer, stop eating food made in labratories and then you can stop dicking around in them so much looking for ways to help this food keep us alive wasting a lot of time and many American's blown charity money. I don't know about you all, but evolving so we can eat twinkies and aspartame and red dye#40 and hydrolyzed soy and hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup and actually stay alive is not exactly the height of human progression in my eyes.

By the way, healthy food is NOT that expensive if you shop around and use your head a little. Example: Rawfood.com sells 2.5 pounds of one of the most nutritious foods on the planet, goji berries, for 52 bucks...which is pretty much the going price, rawchoice sells them for a similar price. BUT, I get two pounds of the lyci berries for 24 bucks from the mountain rose site listed in my links. It's just a matter of using your head and shopping around a little bit, it's not rocket science. Plus, most people don't realize that you can't eat but more than a handfull of goji berries in one sitting before your body just can't absorb anymore of the nutrients in them because they have so many.  So their really not that expensive since you can probably at LEAST 100 handfulls out of 2 pounds...probably more...

2 - Ya... organic food isn't that expensive if you shop around. We sell produce where I work and we are probably the cheapest in town and lots of people know it because they always race to get the produce. We also always put produce on sale on the weekends so it doesn't go to waste like at the big supermarkets. Also getting a discount helps and I am very lucky!!! Plus it tastes better and smells better and is better for you!!! Yay for organic foods!!! (Comment this)

3 - Hi Alex,

Yes! And a coronary bypass in the US is more

like 20-80K, plus you are likely to get some

brain-damage during the procedure--so you can't

really buy health at any price, you need to

build it for yourself with your choices. (Comment this)

4 - You are partially right. The probability of someone needing a triple bypass surgery because he/she ate genetically modified, or unorganic food is slim to none. Eating organic food has hardly anything to do with heart disease. Just because the food is organic, it does not mean that you can eat as much of it or anything organice and not have any dire consequences. Organic food's correlation to health is given too much weight. (Comment this)
