Do you eat "Organic" foods ? - GoFuckYourself.com

Juicy D. Links · 04-15-2009, 10:56 AM

I like my cows to be organic

Blazed · 04-15-2009, 11:03 AM

Yes its more expensive so it must be better.

Yen_HerbalRevenue · 04-15-2009, 11:04 AM

Fresh and easy just opened around here not to long ago and I tried shopping there. It was nice and had some cool stuff but everything expires in 1 or 2 days, as it should but can anyone really go to the store everyday to make dinner?

munki · 04-15-2009, 11:06 AM

We've got a Trader Joe's around the corner, most of our meals nowadays have gone organic...

Furious_Female · 04-15-2009, 11:10 AM

Yes. We spend around $300-500 a week on groceries mainly because most are organic, free range, etc. I <3 Whole Foods and Trader Joe's but we live about 65 miles from the closest one but we still go when we can.

Are fresh and easy popular in America? Its owned by Tesco's (the UK equivalent of Walmart) and is their attempt to make some ground in the states.

What food expires in 1 or 2 days, i guess you are talking vegetables? I dont think there is nutritionally any difference between fresh veg and frozen veg.

Si · 04-15-2009, 11:14 AM

only eat organic seo i'm afraid.

I put it in my soup instead of crutons

No the UK equivalent of Walmart is actually ASDA. (same company)

But yeah it is owned by Tesco

Not really Asda is tiny compared to Tesco's. Walmart bought Asda but Tesco's is more comparable to Walmart since they both dominate the countries they are based in.

Furious_Male · 04-15-2009, 11:49 AM

The only organic food I go out of my way to get is organic peanut butter. That stuff is the best.

Yeah they are coming up all over the place here... People are really getting into the trend.

fresh Veggies yeah expired quickly, but salad dressing, bread, and other stuff you get at the market is good for weeks at least... Not at fresh and easy.

I love peanut butter at the Vons around here you can make your own peanut butter. It is pretty cool. I like to make mine with Honey roasted nuts!

That sounds real good. I will have to look around and see if I can find places around here that allow me to do that.

Stephen · 04-15-2009, 01:03 PM

yeah, and I especially like organic milk (2%) cuz the cows weren't doped with steroids, etc

I would send you some but it's organic and prob wouldn't make it to NY without going bad

$5 submissions · 04-15-2009, 01:10 PM

I try organic eggs, milk, and fruits/veggies when I can.

The upside: less hormones, pesticide residues, and other stuff that cause cancer/problems down the road.

The downside: availability, higher price

CurrentlySober · 04-15-2009, 01:11 PM

Hell Yeah!

Anthing thats organic (ie GROWN IN POO) just HAS to be the best

d-null · 04-15-2009, 01:36 PM

of course, it's crazy not to nowadays

with the genetically modified growing concepts that the huge multinational companies have going where they spray the plants to shed them of all their foliage while they are still standing to make it faster and more profitable to harvest and all the other shady stuff that is going on I avoid non-organic as much as possible

Elli · 04-15-2009, 01:37 PM

I don't put much stock in the "organic" label, but I do buy antibiotic and hormone-free beef and chicken, free range eggs, organic milk, and local veggies as much as possible. We're very lucky that there are plenty of options very close by. And the farms 10 minutes away sell fresh free range eggs for $3.50 a dozen, whereas the "free range" eggs at the store cost $6!

2012 · 04-15-2009, 01:40 PM

no but I take organic shits

No becuase they grow that organic crap in human shit

That is the weirdest objection I've heard yet. What do you think fertilizer has been made out of for centuries, if not shit?

And who is using human shit as fertilizer?

gmr324 · 04-15-2009, 01:57 PM

Is the organic food industry regulated or can anyone
just slap that label on their package? I guess the best
option which we do is to just purchase as much as
possible from local farms you can talk to

There was a program on TV a couple of years ago about an organic farmer that was using human shit

There's no record that those were organic farms only, and that was an EPA project to clean up waterways. Nothing to do with organic methods.

Scary shit:
"A top state official alerted the Food and Drug Administration, but Boyce said no one ever told him to stop selling his milk or mentioned a possible threat to public health.

"We were a little startled," Boyce recalled. "They concluded that our permit was good, and we could continue to sell milk. So we did.""

Yes it is regulated but unfortunately many consumers are uneducated as to what requirements go with what term, and there are lots of terms. Gets confusing as some terms are regulated, while other terms are not. This goes beyond organic, etc. applies to all sorts of labels in general (diet, light, organic, free, reduced, so forth).

It boils down to 4 categories - 100% organic, organic, made from organic ingredients, and contains less than 70% organic ingredients.

100% is obvious for most part.
Organic must contain 95% organic ingredients, with 5% consisting of only approved products that are unavailable in organic form.
Made with organic ingredients - contain at least 70% organic ingredients and they can list 3 of them on the label - though they cannot display the USDA organic seal on the package.
Less than 70& - can not use the term organic anywhere on the main display panel, but they can list the specific components in the ingredients section of the information panel.

Fun to think that's just for the organic issue, toss in free range or many others and all sorts of new rules again for a new term.

I like the selection at Fresh & Easy but I dont shop there because its all self-checkout.

I dont work in a grocery store, someone else can ring the shit up. I've pretty much quit going to Lowe's for the same reason.

Really?
I love stores that have self checkout. I prefer when they have both the most. I will always hit the self checkout at home depot, Shopko, etc. It seems to go faster.

I'm not going to waste my money on Organic after I heard my hs biology teacher tell us that Organic fields/orchards receive the pesticide runoff from the regular fields located right next to the Organic ones. What's the point then?

If I see something I like at Trader Joes that just so happens to be organic, ok great. But I won't buy something because it's organic. If I go to farmers market and like the look of the organic strawberries better than the normal ones, I'll take them. I won't buy something just because it's organic though.

Screw that.

Roby · 04-16-2009, 03:30 AM

no eat also

i eat organic bagels

Oracle Porn · 04-16-2009, 03:51 AM

I buy free range eggs as of lately, i can really feel the taste between them and regular eggs....my gf says its all in my head though.

PSSuperstars · 04-16-2009, 03:59 AM

My nutritionist broke it down like this..
"They give those hormones and steroids to those cows so that they become a big fat cow.... do you want to eat those and become a big fat cow too?"

Its believed that young girls are maturing earlier.. and little girls have PCOS more because of exposure to all the growth hormones in meat...

I'm not as vigilant as I was.. say a year ago... but I need to get back to straight organic.

ya Dr. Oz also said on Oprah though that girls are "maturing" earlier (aka getting their period earlier) primarily due to being overweight and pollutants.

Stupid question, but what exactly does free range mean? I've seen the term, but I have never known.

I try to buy locally when I can and will even be putting out a small garden this spring/summer for veggies I eat the most of. As for organic in the stores, if you peel it anyway there really isn't much value over just buying the normal produce. Canned and bottled "Organic" items are pretty much a waste of money. I do prefer meats that do not contain hormones or antibiotics and look for those when shopping.
