there is a dry cleaning place in my neighborhood that advertises that it's organic. cleaning clothes without liquid seems like witch craft to begin with, but if ever there was a time you wanted some chemicals at work for you - it would be when you're getting your clothes cleaned by magic. is organic just another buzz word that people like to use to sound smart and bring you around to their way of thinking? triglycerides, trans fat, anti-oxidants, toxins, omega 3 fatty acids... "what does that mean?" "it means i heard a smart person say that word, and i want to sound smart ...they did studies." they also did studies in the 60's that determined heroine was good for you. organic sounds good. it makes you think of a simple, grass roots family rolling up their sleeves and individually plucking, pruning and harvesting each morsel that makes its way to your plate. but you don't know where that food came from. it just says organic on the package. it's mass produced. you didn't see the farm that it came from. the government regulates which seeds are sold and planted, so who knows what is in anything? we don't need scarecrows anymore because birds won't even eat whatever they put in our crops. that seems weird, but we're also making strides in the medical field. our food may strike you impotent and plug up all your arteries, but modern medicine will put a baboon heart inside you to pump blood to your new baboon penis. why are we going forward so quickly with medicine and technology, and wanting to revert back to primitive ways of eating? ben and jerry's makes an ice cream called chocolate fudge brownie. it's a baked good within a dairy product. that's one of the greatest things humans have ever done. why would you speak ill of preservatives when they can do something so fantastic? people used to eat organic foods, and the average life expectancy was about 45. let's celebrate our innovation ...with a giant bowl of chemicals.
