My doctor told me I wasn't getting enough pesticide.

Seriously, after doing a little research, I will continue to buy organic milk; no matter what it costs.

Mine too. From now on, it's only rocks for me.

You saw it coming: Due to economy tanking, consumers' taste ability to afford for organic food is tapering off

Since people are more likely to get sick and die from eating organic foods, I'm really sad to hear this.

It's all a giant cash grab.

Oh well... if it feels good, do it.

You saw it coming: Consumers finally wise up and realize that most "organic" labels are pure baloney.

They'll have my arugula when they pry it from my cold dead hands!

I am currently eating Kraft Mac and Cheese with tuna and green chile, all primo organic stuff.


Yesdog

I haven't actually seen a baloney label saying it was "organic." ;~)

Regnad Kcin: eriously, after doing a little research, I will continue to buy organic milk; no matter what it costs.

They ultra pasteurize it, it lasts a long time, which is why I get it (plus it really does taste better)

I still love my organic pancakes from an aerosol can.

I prefer the more synthetic, polymer-based foods.

Same here. Organic milk and eggs taste MUCH better.

really?

The interest got high enough for it to now taper off?
That surprises me.

PC LOAD LETTER: They ultra pasteurize it, it lasts a long time, which is why I get it (plus it really does taste better)

I have three boys. We go through a gallon a day. I'll stick with the cheap stuff.

Though there is a farm nearby that sells raw milk. I am tempted to try it sometime, despite the signs saying that it may be dangerous...

I have two kids, which is why I only buy organic. The trouble is that the cows' systems don't filter out the pesticides that they eat with their food, so the poison goes right into the old milk bucket.

JerseyTim: I still love my organic pancakes from an aerosol can.

We should start up a collection to get JerseyTim a new frying pan.

Jesus, dude. It looks like you've been smelting copper in that thing.

TheGrayCat: Same here. Organic milk and eggs taste MUCH better.

I never understood the need for Americans to dye their milk white.

I can stand the organic veggies and fruits... some meats (from a cow eating only grass? no injections?)...

but some "organic" stuff is just silly.

A little tip for organic gardeners like myself: If your veggies are winding up tasting too much like your fertilizer, put a little bit of lime in the soil a week before you harvest. This will limit their mineral uptake and moderate the flavor.

Indeed... when I first saw it, I thought the pan was upside down. Seriously though - organic aerosol pancakes? Isn't that some kinda f'd up oxymoron?

Sources? I have a hard time believing this. I hear all these claims about hormones and other compounds harming our health, but I never hear or see any clear evidence of this being the case.

The planet cannot sustain 6,000,000,000+ people without conventional farming, with pesticides, fertilizers, radiation, etc.

I think we will see the day when vegans start eating more animals masquerading as plant, and carnivores eat more plants masquerading as animals.

You can have my benzene when you pry it from my cold dead hands. Non-organic just doesn't have that taste and aroma I've gotten used to.

Really, when I saw that the first thing I thought was why is the pan upside down. Then I realized what I was looking at and my stomach got alittle queazy.

/Pancakes in a can looks like a good idea though.

The plantalopes are nervous.

Organic eggs?

Can you please link me to non-organic eggs?

Lucky to live in a country where everything is organic. Well, everything produced here anyway...

JerseyTim: I still love my organic pancakes from an aerosol can.

God bless humanity.

Wholefoods is for queers.

Yes, they use "organic" in the description.

JerseyTim: I still love my organic pancakes from an aerosol can.

I saw that at Costco and laughed.

Organic food looks like some trustafarian rubbed the food in their unwashed armpits, then put it on the shelf

Sweet fancy Jesus! pancakes easy-cheeze style?! WHERE can I get me some of that?!

Moderation in all things. I'm sure there's a happy medium between anything-to-maximize-yield and the hyper-limited organic world that is probably an ideal level. Some limited use of pesticides that would be healthy and sustainable for our booming population.

But that's not marketable. So we get extremes - either the best price, or the one that is certified 100% pesticide, GMO, hormone, etc. free.

Personally, I eat any old shiat, but I feed my toddler organic to cover his bets.

However, I actually get a share from a local organic farm. This lets me buy local and get real organic food - a lot of organic food is only "organic" in that they've bred the veggies to be full of so many natural toxins that they don't need pesticides to kill bugs - they do it on their own.

The other advantage to the local organic farm is that local food tastes fscking awesome, organic or not. When my son was born, a local hippie friend gave me a basket of her best yellow roma and heirloom tomatoes. I went to a butcher and got some very nice bacon and made the best bacon-and-tomato sandwiches I will ever taste. I still drool at the memory.

The tomatoes that you get from the grocery store do not deserve to be called such. They are fleshy water-balloons, the vegetable equivalent of a bud light. But you can get that kind of benefit without going into crazy organic land - anybody who grows their food with love will make awesome veggies.

Either way, on the health side, especially you folks in the USA - you really want bovine growth hormone in your kids' milk?

JerseyTim: I still love my organic pancakes from an aerosol can.

Good farking lord.

You should not consume food cooked in that object that was once a frying pan. For your own health and safety, you really, really need to get a new pan. Seriously. Go. Go now. Go buy a new pan.

JerseyTim: I still love my organic pancakes from an aerosol can.

Hey, Batter Blaster is what I call my penis!
/whut?

Grow your own.

nice pic, i had to take out a second mortagage to buy cut pineapple from Whole Foods

Hmmmmm... the pan doesn't look that bad to the naked eye. Either way, my spray-on pancakes were delicious.

And by delicious, I mean ok.

Thank god. I prefer food that started as real food, was turned into various food-grade chemicals, and then was skillfully reassembled into tasty, processed goodness.

/the more pesticides, the better
//the more natural gas used to make the fertilizer to grow it the better, too

I only eat organic food.

Of course, I'm using the chemist's definition of organic.

/I'll have the charcoal with a side of graphite, and some diamonds for desert.

ExJerseyGirl: Though there is a farm nearby that sells raw milk. I am tempted to try it sometime, despite the signs saying that it may be dangerous...

What signs? People drank raw milk for thousands of years. Yet somehow it's now dangerous?

Who in this day and age can afford Whole Paycheck?
Jeesch - the morons who support that place where there are local co-ops that charge 70% less......

I buy certain things organic (like tomatoes) because they taste better; despite being below poverty lines. My mom gardens a lot and I ate fresh veggies growing up, the ones in the grocery store just don't taste right. Even whole foods veggies aren't really as good- but they're better than the standard grocery store so I pay more for them.

I have some friends who buy environmentally-friendly and organic products to clean their house. I would love to reduce environmental waste, but they cost substantially more money and if it comes between buying environmentally clean detergent and eating dinner that night I tend to focus just on feeding myself. I wish that wasn't the choice that had to be made.

I love inorganic food!

This seems to be a great argument in favor of global population regulation.

Stiletto_the_wise

Yes, it is. Why do you think the process of pasteurization was invented and is used today?

I refuse to eat foods that contain hyrdocarbons. I think it's just a goofy new-age hippy fad.

That's because the Bush Administration got laws passed changing the requirements for organic food labeling so that their lobbyists' companies could smack an organic sticker on their drug-infested food also.

Organic food ain't what it used to be.

Keep it up, libs. Keep wanting to eat healthy and we'll keep winning elections.

Sure, but when I stockpile the ammunition everyone thinks I'm the weirdo!

My wife bought some organic catsup and it tastes awesome.

/Really
//Unfortunately it costs 3x as much as normal catsup
