Organic labels are a sham to convince people that they are eating healthy products when in reality they aren't and they just jack up the price and gullible people pay for it.

Fuck Whole Paycheck and their entire business model.



True, I tend to forget that international other countries are ahead of the game and making those things illegal.

I don't think you understood what I wrote. Whole Foods is very overrated. I tend to go to Mothers Market and Traders Joe for the most part. Mothers Market is expensive but they offer an array of great items.

Not really sure that naturally made pesticides would be any better then chemicals honestly. I grow half of the vegetables I eat at home. I have never had to use a pesticide.

lol, you don't have to genetically alter or poison corn, so you can eat it :)

I heard that in the USA there are up to 13 different genes inside your corn. also rat genes. is that true?

I don't know about that, sounds like good old GMO fear mongering to me. I was making a point saying that GMO's aren't as evil as everyone makes them out to be, they've been doing it for hundreds of years.

It just takes longer to grow and is more vulnerable by insects,
so you have to get good gardeners or farmers, that actually watch the food grow. But bavaria is all about specialization. Nobody gets a job but highly educated people, so you really have to know your stuff.
But therefore it tastes a 100 times better, and all of that without the distinct aftertaste of toxic waste.
