RE: The Organic Mafioso EXPOSED: How What You Eat Makes You A Superior Enlightened Being (Or Maybe Just An Arrogant Asshole...)

in #funny8 years ago

The video is way exaggerated, but funny. Yes I think the worry can produce more stress than it's worth so it's better to let most of it go. It's tough when you're trying to eat organically and healthy and you go to a friend's or acquaintance's and they offer unhealthy foods. Before I would decline or not eat much, but these days I won't make a big deal of it or try not to cause a scene. I do prefer just eating at home. I try to eat as much organic as possible based on my budget. It's expensive. It seems to taste a whole lot better. Could be psychological, but I notice a difference often. My bet despite some studies that suggest otherwise is that there is a difference. Most of science can't isolate all the thousands of chemicals and various differences in foods anyways. I avoid GMO in general, but haven't delved into the details. I think there is a place for technology and meal replacements, but big agribusiness & Monsanto are using unsustainable practices ... it's really not good for the soil and land to use all these chemicals so I doubt you get the proper minerals and nutrients that you should get. I heard the great dust bowls during the Great Depression was mostly caused by bad agricultural practices and soil management. I think the same thing is happening right now so I'm happy to see the organic and micro-agriculture practices grow. There's so much more variety and tastes with heirloom and organic varieties of food that usually can't be mass-produced and shipped far without going bad. I hope to see more of that. Anyways I digress. I agree with you about all the elitism. These days I just let most of that go.
