Organic and Free rangeFrom: Koolaide (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 27 Feb 2003 21:54:23 -0600 (CST)
I don't mean to start a war here today, I thought I'd say that right out of the gate. I read a great article a while back about organic fruits and veggies and free range poultry. Really, not to my surprise, organic may not be all that organic. The way I read things is....organic basically means no pestisides or chemicals, however, lets say an organic corn crop is (and often is) right beside a non organic field. The non organic gets sprayed and the 'over spray' gets all over the organic. This article went on to say that a very high (over 80% if my memory is right) of 'organic' crops are not organic at all. Same as 'free range'. When you go to the grocery store and see the 'organic' section of the produce departmend, notice how the prices often double? You are paying for something that you are not guaranteed to be organic. I would think the only true way of getting the 'right' stuff is from an independant source that you can trust. Maybe I'm out of line and don't know anything about it...who knows... just don't want to see people get caught in the expensive marketing of something that is not 100% true. Be careful and please do some homework about where you shop and what you are buying. Take care, Bonnie
