Have you seen, I think it's - Red River - with John Wayne. They are complaining on the trail that they are eating beef again. I'm like, "You have to be kidding me. Who could ever get tired of local beef and on an open fire?!" LOL!
LOL! either Red River or is it Cowboys? yea and I agree with you. good beef is hard to beat.

Most organically grown fruits and vegetables simply taste better--IMO, because they're grown with a little more care. Like my Grandparent's garden!!!!
The produce you buy in chain grocery stores is grown for quantity and appearance--not necessarily taste and quality. (other than the quality that relates to how it looks to the consumer)
If you buy fresh produce at a Whole Foods Market, you will TASTE the difference. And manure is a much better fertilizer, Ferd!
You can also catch fish and bury them under your garden beds. Talk about fantastic natural fertilizer....
Jeff and I are growing our own veggies this year, and I am thrilled about it. I have one heirloom tomato plant, one hybrid, and two cherry tomato plants, 1 yellow, 1 red. Jeff has eggplant, squash, cucumbers, watermelon, etc. We try to pick things we'll actually EAT!!! BUT, if you do grow too much by accident--give it away, OR put the rotten veggies in a compost bin, and use it on your garden after it breaks down.
I lost my point...
Oh, yeah--organically grown fruits and vegetables are a cut above the rest--BUT--BUTTTTTTTT--it is better to eat regular old grocery store fruits and veggies, and even frozen vegetables than none at all.
Cooking vegetables too long does remove most (if not all) the vitamins/minerals, etc., but it's still nutritive, and better than eating the same ounce-age in twinkies!!!!!

Nobody can beat that!
My Grandparents had a big garden & they grew it growing up!
Talk about fresh!
Pressing, I have eaten Bananas in the jungles of south america where they have no capacity to get anything that would disqualify them from being organic.
I mean more organic than any "organic" item in any American grocery store.
they still taste like Bananas! YUCK! LOL!
Kiwi has more potasium and less sugar than bananas anyway eat them... better for you and taste great (even non-organic_ LOL~
and I aint gonna bully you. have a conversation and talk about it all yes, but no bulling... I promise.
I may pull a pony tail every once in a while....
Oh, I see, you don't like Bananas - ever. Okay, I hate Asparagus.
My sisters make up strange dishes when we get together. Our next meeting will be in San Antonio on May 2 - the e-mail has gone out - bring your dishes to experiment on each other! LOL!
Anyway, one year at Thanksgiving, one of my sisters made a dish with Asparagus. She wanted me to taste it. I put it in my mouth and then immediately spit it in my napkin! She was offended.
I'm used to your bullying - when you really get into to it. No problem - I'll just ignore you when you do it again.
Talk about fantastic natural fertilizer....
