Do you eat organic food

I don’t think eating organic food offers all the health benefits that are claimed by its canvas. I tried eating organic only and had no improvements.

But if I had more money I probably buy all organic, especially meat since the animals were likely to have treated humanly.

    Whatever is cheaper. If organic produce is the only option sure.

    To me organic doesnt mean shit. Pesticides can still be used and it can be a gmo crop (not that I mind GMOs in the first place)

    Organic meats are probably better with the control of medicine for the livestock. But how they are killed is still unimportant. Most common way is by stunner and a throat slit. Stressed meat tastes worse than non stressed. Organic means nothing to that process.

    Unless you breakdown you dietary needs into specific mineral and nutrient quotas it really doesnt matter how you fill it, just that you do.

    "Organic" means very little. All mushrooms you can find in a grocery store can be classified as organic.

    More vegetables, less carbs and bread, more meat and fat. Eat like a caveman that had variety, not beating the nearest edible animal with a rock.

    I have, but it's definitely not my go to option. If it was less expensive I would almost certainly go for it more often.

    I don't buy organic groceries. I just buy whatever is cheap. I save more money that way. XD

    I really do spend so much money on “organic” but the truth is that, it doesn’t matter in the US. There is no standard on food here.

      Wow, a good take. Well done. You're absolutely right, you don't know whether it's a marketing gimmick or not. It's like that here in the UK too where you can be arrested for making fun of faggots but not for lying to people about what they're consuming.

        Jeeze. Even when you’re trying to be agreeable, you’re still a cunt. Isn’t that tiring?

          Nothing I said was wrong. That's all that matters. Didn't you say you blocked me in the other thread?

    Some things, yes. There are some produce items that absorb more pesticides than others, like root crops. Then you have things like oats that are sprayed with glyphosate at harvest (you don't want to eat glyphosate). And, also if you just look at ingredients on something like ketchup, organic vs regular is a major difference in quality. So, yeah, in many cases, organic is worth the extra cost.

    All food is organic.

    Usually. Pesticides and herbicides are destroying the ecosystem. And us, slowly. So very slowly.

    No because ‘organic’ doesn’t mean anything when some corrupt agency sets arbitrary standards.

    Only if it's the only option. I highly doubt 'organic' food is even what they advertise anyway.. Or rather, I have no way of confirming it's nothing more than a marketing gimmick.

    Only lemons because I grind the peels up intact with water in a blender to drink it once or twice a week

    i would if i had the extra money to spend (probably would go to farmers markets too) but with the cost of living crisis recently i can't usually afford to buy more than the cheapest version of an item
