Eat a T-bone once in a while you anemic, depressing zealots. Get next to a bar of soap. you are confusing organic with vegan, i suppose. there may be a slight overlap, but most vegans i know eat prepared foods that aren't necessarily organic. i don't actually know many vegans that can cook from scratch (just like i don't know many people who aren't dependent on prepared foods now-a-days). i'm neither vegan or vegetarian, yet i grow, purchase & prepare mostly organic foods, including meats. oh, and there's also soap made from organic sourced ingredients... which is a bit of a long winded way to say "your ignorance is showing!" lee Hmmm .... I m going to defend the original poster, too a limit. From the point of logic, a qualified answer ("too a limit"), is no answer at all. Logic tends to deal with "right or wrong", "zero's and ones", "yes and no". The posting does not deal with facts. Just opinions, subjective views, one can accept or reject the views, both are fine. In my book, "right and wrong" are thin lines at the ends with a vast grey middle. I have also felt the same way. Some of the unhealthiest people I have ever seen was at a health food store ( myself excluded . How would you know, unless you were their doctor? No, I am not anyones physician. However, skin rashes, pale or very red faces, bad breath, some examples of external health problems. One can go one with many observable conditions that are out of the normal. There are people that have better genetics than others. There are people that seem to consume nothing but junk food and thrive and look healthy as can be. Ah, appearances are subjective. True. Some people are more sensitive to certain foods than others. Wheat and gluten products causes gas and fatigue for me. I have tested negative for celiac (Endoscopy and Biopsy) and wheat allergies. However I still ovoid those food substances for their negative affects to me. The health food store has the rice and other flours that regular stores do not have. Not bad, to have a wider choice. True Again. If you are healthy from the beginning. Why enter a health food store? To stay that way, and hopefully keep your loved ones that way as well. If your unhealthy and traditional medicine has failed you, try alternative methods. The health food stores are best places to try something different. Well, one place, anyway. Unlike the original poster suggest, I am not a vegetarian. The health food store has products I have not yet learn to make myself. Like growing my own rice and corn for grinding my own flours. Someday I will give it a try. Where wheat products bother me. Other people might have bad reactions to meat products and a vegetarian diet might be best for them physically or mentally (death of animals bother them). I raise my own chickens (taste better). If you're going to eat them, someone has to kill them. I'm sure that your backyard is better than an abattoir, at least I hope so. My 20 Chickens have a better life than many humans on this planet! Nice warm home, plenty of food, two acre pen to roam and access to the garden before nightfall and a much longer life than most of their kind. Again the organic heath food store is a good place to be for those who need alternatives. Well, in my new roll as "Organic Man", I might suggest that you check out your Community Supported Agriculture (find at http://www.localharvest.org/csa/ ) or check your local farmer's markets. In my opinion, we all need alternatives to "factory food" that is grown for shelf life and not nutrition. "And how much of a difference in antioxidant content is there between organically and conventionally-grown foods? According to a four year long study carried out at the University of Newcastle, organic food is some 40% richer in antioxidants." - Dr. Joseph Schwarcz The organic health food store I go to, also sells grass fed only T-bone steaks Good eats ;O) A favorite show I record weekly as well as skin sensitive soaps. Particularly important in group showers ;O) "too a limit" ... Dan -- Garden in Zone 5 South East Michigan. |
