This "ORGANIC" Thing Has Gone To Far...

[beak]

We have an organic garden. No chemicals allowed any where near it. I do believe that a lot of people that sell as organic aren't really organic. Just the nature of the human beast.

So did you stop and buy anything, LCRT?

Just like anything else, if it's not your thing, you don't have to buy.

How's the packing going?

Thats just lying! What if someone buys organic because they are allergic to something in the pesticides? What would you do then when they used your "organic" crap? How would you feel then? If you were to go to the grocery store and buy beef, wouldnt you be upset if you found out you were really eating goat?

We don't use chemicals anywhere the animals might get to because I don't want to expose the ducks to anything potentially harmful. But we don't claim organic because we don't follow the established defined organic style of gardening.

See, I've been organic on accident before it was popular. Being poor has it's advantages at times

Growing up we never used fancy chemicals on our gardens, we composted our own manure to fertalize. None of our meat animals was fed anything with any added chemicals such as antibiotics or hormones.

Being organic is making sure what goes in your body is natural and not from DOW chemical company.

If a person raises and sells veggies or meat that cannot be verified 100% organic, they can sell it as "all-natural" or noncertified organic. At least they can in this area.

Certified organic is hard work and can get costly, so they naturally expect a bigger price for the difference in the quality. Some folks will pay for better quality.

I wouldn't be to sure about that. Radon is basically found everywhere. Your state is no different than other parts of the country.

http://www.epa.gov/radon/states/westvirginia.html

Radon is a colourless, odorless, radioactive gas that occurs naturally in the environment. It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soils and rocks.

Radon gas can move through small spaces in the soil and rock upon which a house is built. It can seep into a home through dirt floors, cracks in concrete, sumps, joints, basement drains, under the furnace base and jack posts if the base is buried in the floor. Concrete-block walls are particularly porous to radon and radon trapped in water from wells can be released into the air when the water is used.

Yeah.......... I know.

I was making a funny.......

But there isn't much the average Joe can do about the radon gas that is odorless, colorless and in our environment no matter what we do.....

We can, however, regulate what we place in our bodies to keep ourselves as healthy as possible so that maybe....just maybe the radon can't harm us as badly. It's all about the immune system, baby!

Yes I bought a glass of lemonade for 50 cents from a couple kids with a road side stand. They told me I was only the 4th customer of the day. I tipped them $5 & told them if they changed their sign to "ORGANIC LEMONADE" they could charge a $1 a glass.


Packing sucks....so I hired a company to do some of it. They will be here with a crew of 4 on Monday.
