about the only 'hype' i've seen thats worth it in my experience is free range chickens. i couldn't believe how much more flavor they had vs. traditional fryers.
at the end of the day, you can argue whether organic tastes better; but because you F&D boardies are shopping for fresh meats, fruits & veggies you have ALREADY WON.
skip the processed stuff and make your food from ingredients you can identify and you're good to go..organic or not.

I think I will go with Jones on this. He actually sounds like he knows what he is talking about.
I'm not persuaded by the guys here whose answers are "
" and the like.
I do think that Whole Foods does do all of their seafood purchasing from the organic ocean though.

I think their purchasing is influenced by sustainability more than anything.

One thing I really wish I could afford is grass-fed beef. It is much leaner and tastes different. Think about how a cow eating the wrong food, corn, all of the time affects its muscles and fat development, and if you are a big dairy user, think about how it can affect the dairy product.

We buy that organic milk because it stays fresh much longer than normal milk that we end up throwing away.

We buy organic milk because it tastes better. As I 'm sure you know it is pasteurized at a higher temp.

not really. The 'experts' they rely on are lackeys for think tanks funded by corporations like ConAgra which have a major dog in the organic fight (and that's evident on Hudson Institute's wikipedia page) The guy from Hudson was completely full of it and wrong. Unless you think a cup of coffee has more cancer risk than pesticides

Chickens have been bred over the last 50 years to grow like machines. Their feed is specifically designed for maximum growth. The feed conversion rates are through the roof. We have really bred a remarkable animal. It takes around 42 days for a chicken to go from a chick to a bird big enough to be sold for food. This has been done through years of breeding and improving their feed.
Do you think this is a good thing??

Almost all cattle are fed exclusively on grass until they get close to slaughter time. When it gets close to slaughter time they are loaded up on corn as it makes the meat tast better. I promise you this is true as I have killed hundreds of cattle in my day.

If any of you boys have done any farming you should know it is not really practical to grow even a small garden without employing at least 7 dust.
Posted on 10/30/12 at 11:32 am to DanTiger
I don't use 7 dust on my garden

Do you grow corn? You can still eat corn with worms I just prefer not to.
Posted on 10/30/12 at 11:40 am to DanTiger
I do not, but my Dad does, and he does not use 7 dust either, and his corn is not infested with worms.
Obviously doing this takes more time and care, but it can be done

Small gardens may be grown successfully without pesticides but they do take a great amount of work. I could not imagine trying to grow several hundred acres without pesticide. The crop loss would be horrific.

This is true with pigs as well. They are fed corn during the last thirty days or so and live on concrete to purge the system.
And several farmers on the Northshore, Folsom area and St Francisville as well sell grass fed beef. It's not more expensive. You just need to find someone to buy it with you.

my mom and brother have split a cow, if i remember correctly they said that per pound it's not that more (if at all) expensive than beef at the store. You just need freezer space
