Are Cheetos organic?

[Eddie the Yeti]

This reminds me of the “can you eat the geese at your local park” thread

I have not seen that thread but you reminded me of a guy I worked with (same agency, not close). All Federal properties are wildlife preserves. Most federal employees know this and so do the Canada geese. They get pretty bold and will often walk right up to people and even attack once in a while. This guy took advantage of that fact to harvest a few. When he got caught because someone saw him kill a goose and put it in his trunk, they searched his house and he had 27 more in his freezer. Not sure how many more he had already eaten, didn't seem to make a dent in the population though!

Even if you were to feed them all organic (and neither your Layena which is "natural" (as the industry defines that term) or your medicated feed qualify), you can't advertise them that way without complying with prohibitively expensive and onerous regulations courtesy the FDA and large commercial operations working together to raise the cost of entry into the market.

and anyone who tells you they can taste the difference between organic and not is full of something the chickens drop lots of, and its not their eggs to which I refer.

The lady that “could tell they were organic” was likely just being pretentious

I have nothing against organic food, but have noticed that a lot of folks can’t help but pat themselves on the back about it, in a food snob sorta way, and feel the need to boast about their food choices to anyone else that will tolerate it

as for cheetoes I’ve tried growing them organically, but without using a little bit of pesticides on them, the pot heads sneak in at night and eat them all just as they get ripe

as a side note, I’m pretty sure to label and sell something as organic in the US you must pay for the privilege of doing so

Reminds me of my first chicken farm. Not sure if I planted them too deep or watered them too much but none of them grew!

Can I just say this has got to be my FAVORITE post I've seen on BYC EVER. This is an awesome post. I just had to say that.

Personal experience here
I moved to the sticks and was kinda forced to stop eating garbage food. Lived off eggs, meat, vegetables, and the occasional buckwheat pancake(my bf is gluten-free). I have no desire to eat junk food anymore. It’s gross really. I thought I wanted Funyuns last month but they were nasty.

I get these cheetos and proceed to tell myself since they are "simply natural" that means I can eat whole bag in one sitting
