    Not to mention that it helps the farm labor avoid exposure to all those concentrated chemicals.

    Yeah, I use organic gasoline! The only reason is this car delivers 48+ MPG for my uses.
    For anyone who thinks different, fertilize this! :D

    Good grief another Red State troll and another topic lifted from Red State forum. Anything that has a hint of intelligence and common sense, buying cars that use less gas, pollute less or buying foods that have no pesticides, synthetic hormones or antibiotics is suspect and, as we see from recent Red State copy posts, feared.

    By the way, the point organic food is not more nutritious. It is SAFER TO EAT. The wacky Red State morons just can't get anything straight.

    Run Amok,
    I personally do not go out of my way to buy "organic" food, but it seems no worse than than regular food, and is not a taxpayer burden. So why the angst ?

    Get angry at obesity, alcoholism, violence, tobacco, drugs, child abuse ... ...

    I don't care who hates me but I shop at the best Whole Foods that exists, the one in Brentwood 90049.
    They have the most beautiful women shopping there, both celebrities and commoners. There may be handsome men here too but I don't notice. Unfortunately not all the women are 100% natural.

    Hi Sage, well, I think the fact that Prop 37 is on the ballot in California may be an incentive for some organizations to fund a certain study and a certain outcome.

    As for the angst, ask Justin Rohrlich, the author. Maybe you and ProximalSuns are under the impression that I crafted the title of the Yahoo article?

    How about the rancor from ProximalSuns? Posts like his clearly demonstrate why people hate Prius owners.

    So I guess 'they' really hate Prius owners that shop at Whole Foods!
    Why anyone would expect organic foods to be more nutritious than non-organically grown foods is beyond reason.
    You purchase organically grown foods if you want food not treated with pesticides and can afford it ... period.

    Why is organic food called "organic food". Why not just "food".

    Why is it that the pure stuff needs a label but the genetically modified, pesticide-ridden, chemically treated crap doesn't need a label?

    I don't really see any connection between this thread and prop 37.

    As for Prop 37, I would support it if pesticides were part of the labeling, and if I could tell that the food was grown from sterile seed.
