[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I highly suggest watching "Penn and Teller Bullsh*t" on organic foods.  [/quote]

HA! I'm the OP and I love Penn and Teller's BS. I am also really into organic and my husband has told me to watch this episode too (he doesn't care one way or the other but buys it anyway for me). We don't buy everything organic, just the things that I have read that have the most pesticides.

Also I work in health policy, and childhood obesity is one of my issues, and I saw the episode on obesity they did a few seasons ago which amused me. They make some good points and I love that they challenge my views, [b]but I don't think I can go back on the organic stuff now. I'm too much of a convert[/b]!!!

Did you watch it? I am not pp but I also watched that episode - my first actually! I am still buying organic milk and if I find a organic version of a fruit or vegetable at Giant or TJ I buy it, but in no way, shape or form I get out of my way to go to WF to buy overpriced organic anymore... not after knowing that organic DOES have pesticides (it was the BIG reason I began organics anyways) and they are not the "less dangerous" (or whatever some PP said about it before?!), but sometimes even worst than the ones from regular food.

Also, since it is not regulated and they are not obligated to tell where the food is coming from, I found out in that episode that there are LOTS of "organic" food out there that were produced in CHINA! ... And other countries. Now, do YOU trust any "organic" food from China? Or any food for that matter? I don't.

For that reason I now take a more "relaxed" approach to organic – and I am pregnant!! (I thought it was relevant to say I am pregnant because I was very particular about what I was eating/drinking… until I saw that episode)

Of course, if I wanted to go through the trouble I could try to find organic food without pesticides (don’t think it’s possible) and locally grown, but not really....

I AGREE WITH ALL OF THE ABOVE.[/quote]
