Question by Andy: Why do people call only more-primitive, fresh foods “organic?”?
Organic simply means carbon-based. All food is carbon-based, so therefore all food is organic. I would be troubled if any of my food wasn’t organic. Even petroleum and plastics are organic.

The only difference that I can see is that “organic” food hasn’t been cultivated with an accelerated “natural selection” process of evolution. So why do people like to call less-evolved (more-primitive), fresh food organic, and exclude that term from references to all other foods, when it clearly does and should apply to all food? .. and why does more-primitive (less-evolved) food have such great appeal? Farmers are simply accelerating evolution by seeding their fields with the seeds from their strongest plants. I prefer eating the fruits from the strongest plants and trees.
Two points:
“Organic” farmers certainly must use pesticides, else insects should quickly decimate their crops.
How do our scientists know so much about genetics that they can “alter” the genes in the lab? I bet that the best we can do is cross-pollinate, or maybe gene-splice but I doubt that we know enough to do much of that. It’s still all organic, natural, and even evolved (albeit under the direct influence of man).

Question by Lilaac: Eden organic canned food “buries” expiration date on can making it impossible to read without calling them.
Where can I register a complaint? It is “hidden” in code. In calling them I am told they are not mandated what to do and they have done it for years so will not change policy. How can I put pressure on them to be more responsible? Please do not state the obvious, “do not buy”. I would like to make a greater impact. There must be a web site to register complaint. Help.

Answer by Carl P
Write a polite letter tot he company explaining that if they do not make their expired date more user friendly you will begin a social protest online and in the newspaper about the problem in general on “many” vendors including Eden.

Then write a letter to the Editor citing all the facts on different vendors showing the good and bad ones. Same for the internet such as here. Call your local TV news people if you think you will get an answer.

Question by Bonsylar: Has anyone else been shocked and amazed at how healthy they are just by “going organic”?
I was taught that organic meant “small, mis-shapen, and expensive”.
That there was no difference but price and people were trying to scam you out of your money by calling regular food “organic”.

Until I tried it!
I haven’t been sick since!
It’s been 2 years (flu seasons) and despite sick co-workers and family members, I haven’t even sniffled!
I haven’t had a panic attack or migraine! I went from 3-4 a month to NONE!!!

Why don’t more people know about this?
Does anyone have more resourses for me? I’m relatively new to this and want to know what else is out there.

I read “Natural Cures…”

Question by : Are the so called “organic foods” really worth the extra money?
Isn’t everything containing carbon considered to be “organic?” I can’t taste the difference in price between an organic apple and a regular apple…

Answer by Ryan
Not really. Just a money scam. Sure they may have small health perks or environment perks but for the extra money its not really worth it.

Question by : what different from “whole food” and “organic food”?

Best answer:

Answer by Pony Slaystation ✈
whole foods are natural unprocessed and unrefined foods that can be found in nature… fresh meat, fish, fruits and vegetables… “REAL” food.

organic food is whole food grown without pesticides or artificial fertilizers. Or cows that have been grass fed instead of grain fed and pumped with chemicals.
