Organic food tastes so much better!!

I'm eating a stalk of celery and it's so much better than the other genetically modified, pesticide riddled food!!

The bananas are heavenly. I'm on a detox and having to go all organic, which I should have been doing anyway, but I am loving it!!!

EMMA! My daughter had your people deliver her some fresh milk yesterday. She sent a gallon home for my husband because I can't drink it while detoxing.

Oh you poor thing, PO.

Our milk is the BEST!!

You are right about organic food though. At least the stuff we buy here at the local Co-op. The bananas are MUCH better, but the organic bananas bought at the supermarket taste the same as regular ones.

Why are you detoxing and how long are you doing it?

My homepathy doctor wants me to detox for two months. He said that even though I am eating well, I should have detoxed long before this. He was also noticing some blotching with my skin, which I have noticed as well. Some of that is from my nerves, but I won't go into that. LOL!

I noticed a big difference in the organic bananas at our local grocery store as opposed the the others. Big difference. We do grow our own, and I like them too!

I think people confuse "organic" with simply "fresh" in most cases. My FIL is a produce farmer and even though his corn is genetically modified "RoundUp resistant" AND he sprays for all sorts of bugs, not to mention fertilizes, his corn is continually praised for its flavor.
Why? For one thing, while it is genetically modified, part of that modification is NOT to make it tough enough for automated pickers -his is all hand picked. Plus being able to eat it only 1-4 days from picking makes all the difference in the world. Most corn in the grocery store is WEEKS old.

Randy, you are exactly right - people do mix the two up. You have to look for the seal.

I'm not sure how much difference it makes when you spray a mixture of one ounce 35% food grade Hydrogen Peroxide with 11 ounces of distilled water over GM food, but it's supposed to help.

I have some apples that I want to finish before I purchase organic. I won't get all the nutrients, but I will peel them before eating.

BTW, no wheat, no dairy, no gluten, no caffeine, no sugar! I'm not doing bad because I quit doing all of these things a long time ago. The caffeine can still be an issue. I'm sure after I'm finished detoxing, I won't go back on the coffee. Green tea is fine, but I don't like it very well.

Detoxing? PO, does that mean you going to be sweet now?
