Organic Produce
Although I find it hard to believe a recent study from the United Kingdom’s Food Standard Commision has just confirmed that
Now before you begin discrediting the findings of the study, let me just tell you that it was based on a comprehensive 50 year study on the alleged nutritional and health benefits of organic produce versus conventionally produced food. Could this mean that Whole Foods (or as I refer to them Whole Paycheck) has just been gouging me for the past 5 years? Personally, if the findings are true then I’m going to be somewhat livid!
For all those who didn’t follow the organic trend, it appears that you received just about the same nutritional value as the hippies who wholeheartedly embraced what might have just been a marketing gimmick. Apart from the environmental and ethical benefits of living organically, we might have just contributed to an industry that made more than $17 billion last year for nothing. I’m fine with saving the earth and the animals but not under false pretenses. There are calls for a more comprehensive study into findings of the FSC.
Organic = Pesticide free
Did the researchers consider this?
Last I checked it was s not nutritional value;)
Organic is BIG business however there are other criteria to consider
Keep spending that money Whole Food’s
They admitted that “there is not sufficient research on the long-term effects of pesticides on human health,”. So you are absolutely right, Kazzy!
