Oh so the effin skill you are most proud of is the ability to taste. Congratu-effin-lations you can taste and you really believe that organic carrots taste any different than the carrots grown in the field across the road? Guess what, your tasting skill isn't nearly as refined as you thought. Cut a big salmon in half serve half of it as grilled salmon and the other half as oak fired, wild caught, North Atlantic salmon and the foodie will beg you to charge $5 more for that better half.

The entire "organic" craze is one of the biggest scams ever perpetuated on mankind.

it definitely is overhyped, but i wouldn't call it a scam. it's nice to buy something and see very little ingredients. i think everyone would agree with that. it's also nice to know that your produce isn't sprayed with chemicals. who's to say that the jury isn't still out for whether gmo's and such aren't actively affecting us. with that said, gmo's are definitely the way to feed the planet. i'm not an extreme earth warrior, more of an explorer and i don't shy away from gmo's but i try to adopt organic and locally first. you can most certainly make it affordable too. you just can't fall for every gimmick, which is what gives organic a bad name to begin with. and it's only a bad name because the majority of the world thinks you're trying to be different on purpose. why can't someone just try to live as healthy as possible without being ridiculed?

of course there's the argument that since the population of the world was compelled from the get go to increase that it's only inevitable (and natural) for us to find creative ways to feed the perpetual surplus
