The majority of the food I buy is organic, exceptions made when it's free or it's one of those times I don't like myself much, but for the most part it's all USDA 100% approved. Fair trade too if it's an option. I do it for the taste, earth-friendly agriculture be damned. I'm certain from the look of things genetic modifications through the magic of chemicals are a big part of our inevitable future, but I refuse to take part in the experiment until things start tasting better. and safer. when I eat machine food now it actually tastes like the poison it technically is. That's why some stuff I refuse to handle GMed, like coffee, pizza, pure cranberry juice, tobacco, and most importantly BEER.
Now I'm no stranger when it comes to alcoholism so I take a mighty keen interest it whatever may or may not be in my drink. Like any one accustomed to this world's tasteful side of culture I enjoy refinement and I enjoy it consecutively. Being a native to New England I have a soft spot (my liver SNARE) for the local cider, which doesn't say on the bottle it's organic cuz it doesn't have to for it to be understood it is. In fact, when it comes to my alltime favorite beers and saki, on which I could blow entire paychecks without having enough hooch to last me the week, most of them don't have to read "organic." If you can taste it, or even more impressively smell it, you don't need anybody to tell you. Like gorillaz. Give a gorilla a banana and he'll peel it and eat it. Give a gorilla an organic banana and he'll eat it whole. Ooh boy am I drunk
excellent post sir haha - "all's I had was four beers after I come home from work...because I was drunk"
I know what you mean about not wanting to be part of the experiment - I actually made an organic food popup for the food page of the jackboard - "I'm not one of Monsanto's guinea pigs."
