Flame coming :-) I'd really like to understand on what basis anyone can call such a toxic mixture of chemicals 'organic'. Whats 'organic' about it, precisely, other than the bizzarre fact its in an 'organic' catalogue for historical resaons? Is that the definition of organic now? And ...'Just wash the fruit well before using'? What about all those ads decrying pesticides and complaining 'why should I have to wash chemicals off my food before I eat it'? It's there largely because no better remedy has been found. In any case, the word 'organic' has been hijacked to mean something else entirely. Any growing thing is organic, whatever nutrients or *icides have been used on it. It's about time we reclaimed it before it goes the way of 'nice' [1] And of 'sophisticated' [2] And 'Prevaricate' [3] And 'gay' [4] And 'gender' [5] [1] exact, precise, to the point. Often used to mean pleasant by those who are not nice. [2] Adulterated, deceitful [3] To lie, dissemble, evade by deceit (When 'procrastinate' is meant) [4] Full of, or disposed to or indicating mirth [5] Grammatical classification of two (or three) classes of objects occasionally corresponding to the sexes and sexlessness To wit, in German, all girls are sexless. To woo, they are not. {:-)) Your best so far. Franz |
