    But, Geico shows their chicken riding trains and touring the grand Canyon and says that's "free range." It's what they do....

    People pay extra for "organic" food. Well, if they show me where I can buy INORGANIC food, I'll pay the premium. In the mean time, I just laugh.

    Well, if you want gmos, pesticides, and fertilisers have at it.

    Rose syrup. A little bit in a glass of ice water is amazing in the heat.

    I'll admit it. Sometimes I go to Starbucks. I like their coffee.

    Whenever the "barrista" (clerk) asks me if I want organic creamer in my latte, I tell her "no thanks, I prefer the inorganic creamer" which usually leaves speechless and with a blank look on her face.

    Then I tell her "just use milk"... (wouldn't want her head to explode).

    That's fine. Then call the food "naturally grown without pesticides or hormones".

    But using the term "organic" is incorrect (even if it's constant mis-use has placed it in common language as meaning "natural").

    "Organic" refers to science or material (or the science of materials) based on carbon.

    Take any nutrient (starch, sugar, fat, etc) and oxidize it (burn it or combine it with oxygen).

    You get energy (heat) and carbon. That's how life works.

    Therefore, the nutrients are organic.

    Animals work the same way as internal combustion engines (in fact, animals ARE internal combustion engines).

    We take in fuel (hydrocarbons or carbohydrates) and oxidize it with inhaled air (oxygen).

    The result is energy (body heat, motion and life processes in general) and exhaust (CO2 exhalations and excretion of unusable waste products in the fuel).

    Amazing that the government doesn't require us to shove catalytic converters up our asses........

    The bananas we eat are not the same as the bananas our parents ate. An interesting read about the fruit.
