Organic Food

I don't get the whole organic thing. I get the fact that people like to buy organic because it's typically fresher, being that there's no preservatives and in it's very nature it has to be fresher. That's fine, I will occasionally treat myself to an organic peach or apple at the local market think wow, this is good, I'm doing a good thing. That is until I get to checkout and realize for the price of two peaches I could've gotten a fucking filet laced with juicy Bovine Growth Hormone. I would've enjoyed the filet much more. Nevertheless I get the freshness factor. The other day though, I was standing in line at this high end grocery store by my house and I saw this woman pick up "Organic Living" magazine. By the way, the people that work at this magazine should shoot themselves, what a stupid fucking concept. Anyways, on the cover it says "Raising Healthy Children in an Increasingly Toxic World." And I'm thinking that's a little outrageous. Our "Increasingly Toxic World." What the world where people's life expectancy is like 94? Or the world where, because we're devoid of any other life threatening or even life style threatening disease, we worry day and night about getting the flu? We develop shots for something that's basically a really nasty cold! The most frustrating thing though is the same people that are Mr. and Mrs. buy everything organic, don't poison our kids are probably the same people that are just absolutely outraged that we spend money on war when there are people everywhere starving. Yeah, let me tell you, organic farming-that's what's gonna feed the world. No, what's going to feed the world are genetically engineered, insecticide laced tomatoes that grow to be as big as your head with one third the water organic tomatoes need. The hypocrisy of people is just outstanding. There's very little in the world that frustrates me more than the reasoning and morals of the extreme right. The one thing that might bother me more though is the opinions of the extreme left. How about this, you try and feed the world organically and I'll help scientists patent genetically engineered seeds that'll grow corn in the desert. You write your article in "Organic Weekly" and I'll write my patents and we'll see who does more good. Twenty bucks says that why you're talking about the perils of pesticide I'll be helping feed Sudan. Our increasingly toxic world. Give me a fucking break. She bought the magazine.
