I tried organic gardening one year. The neighbors kept calling the law on me. Do you have any idea how much excrement it takes to fertilize 1/2 acre of garden? I couldn't do it all myself, had to ask for donations. They moved.

Nope, I go for the inorganic food stuff I guess, ain't a lick of difference anyhow.

I'm fine with growing it without chemicals, but I need all the preservatives I can get at this age. Much cheaper than buying all those anti-wrinkle creams and such.

There's some evidence that organically grown crops are more nutritious than their non-organic counterparts, but the main reason for eating organic foods is that the agricultural process that produces them doesn't do anywhere near the amount of damage to the environment.
So while you may prefer to eat non-organic, everyone on the planet has to suffer the consequences of the methods of production for your food. In that respect, it's somewhat similar to second-hand smoke, but the peripheral damage is orders of magnitude greater.

Organic produce is a scam, and it is the opposite of sustainable. Organic farming requires twice the acreage to produce the same crop. Growers will tell you that going organic means seeing a huge decrease in per-acre yield.
Also I would point out recent studies that have concluded there is no nutritional difference between organically and conventionally grown food. http://articles.cnn.com/2008-08-19/tech/organic.cooking.pv_1_organic-food-organic-trade-association-organic-products?_s=PM:TECH

Dover, would like to read some more studies to back up your statement about sustainable agriculture being a scam.

Not sustainable, organic. Not the same.

"It should be noted that the study does not make conclusions about the comparative levels of pesticides or chemicals in conventionally and organically grown food or the health effects of consuming such chemicals." This was the end of the article you cited. The article is nearly 3 years old too. More research may now be out.

Damn French beret wearing thin little pancake eaters.
Freaking French created a hole in the ozone with their Freon®. Made marijuana illegal with their damn Marihuana Tax Act of 1937. Poisoned the earth with their numerous herbicides.
"Better Things for Better Living...Through Chemistry." Yeah sure.

Are you saying those French DuPonts and their ilk are more concerned with drinking wine, eating cheese, and making love rather than ruining the earth, keeping marijuana illegal and making gunpowder and explosives as war profiteers?
I have never seen you drink wine. Just cheap bourbon.

Many moons ago, I went to the Palladium which was where the Merc was when it was where the liquor store is now. I bought beer by the pitcher, danced, and called it the Get-Laid-e-um. I actually went back. Often.

Never Wait, I do buy friuts and vegetables at the regular grocery store. Aren't they organic? Just not hippie organic. The beer I buy and drink has malt, barley and hops in it. So, isn't it organic?

So explain this reasoning to me. There are some people will only eat organic food but then cover most of their body (in merrill's case, all of his body) with sunscreen which is "chemicals". Or are they using organic sunscreen?

Does it matter? Unless, of course, he's licking his skin. Don't most pill capsules contain petroleum? Is our drinking water chemical free? Are fabric softeners organic? Don't plastics contain petroleum?
We can't live completely organic unless we go back to the way we lived over two hundred years ago.

Then we'll all die by the time we're 37. Yup, all organic gardening is really good for you.

Weekly, only if it's fresh and reasonably priced. Dillons has been carrying more and more organic produce at reasonable prices lately.
Mmmmm, bologna on Wonder bread slathered in mayo with lettuce and summer maters. Yum!

I have a list I printed called the "Clean 15 and the Dirty Dozen". Mainly the produce you can go ahead and purchase conventionally and those that are the worst offenders when it comes to chemicals.
I usually purchase my organic produce off of that list. It makes it a little bit more affordable for our family. We also grow our own vegetables and herbs in the summer as well and don't use chemicals.
Until I had kids and started questioning what I was putting into their bodies I never really cared about the whole organic vs. conventional debate. Now I try to be more aware of what I am purchasing.

Not very often. If chemicals were going to hurt me they'd have done it by now. I grow tomatoes orgnically because they seem to do fine on their own.

I'm all for organic, but have become quite cynical in my old age. Is that stuff being sold as organic really what it's cracked up to be?
I do wash my fruits and vegetables quite extensively---don't know if it really helps, but it makes me feel better (symbolically, not literally better).

I think one gets more fruit flies from organic fruits than inorganic fruits therefore organic fruits have more protein.

We have a chemical free garden and I make all my "green" house cleaners instead of buying them but I think that has more to do with saving money then being organic. If the organic fruit and veggies are cheaper I would buy them but other then that it doesn't matter too much to me.
