CA.NEWS.YAHOO.COM reports:
Organic produce and meat typically isn't any better for you than conventional varieties when it comes to vitamin and nutrient content, according to a new review of the evidence. But organic options may live up to their billing of lowering exposure to pesticide residue and antibiotic-resistant bacteria, researchers from Stanford University and the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System found.

+20The study only shows its the same in Vitamin and Nutrient content, it fails to mention the potential harm of certain chemicals and hormones contained in non-organic food, regardless, I prefer organic not because of possible health benefits but because of taste and composition and although it may cost more, I end up getting more for my money.
my wife and I and our kids and our parents and grand parents, etc ONLY drink raw milk. We never get sick of any kind.
How many other dairy farmers drink raw milk? PROVE your statement with proof that dairy farmers, drinking raw mile, have an epidemic of TB!!!!! The environment I work it, we have to take a TB test every year. not ONE person has it. where I work, there are over 1000 people and it's a farming community.
Pasteurizing milk began back in the day when there was a serious epidemic of TB because of the cows and raw milk and pasteurization has continued to safeguard against another epidemic. I don't have to PROVE anything to you.........just recap on your history. And if you want to continue drinking raw milk go right ahead, I couldn't give a damn whether you get sick or not, just don't expect others to jump off a cliff behind you. There must be some reason you feel so defensive about drinking it.
The homemade cheese around here has had a recall more than once because the mennonites make it from raw milk and sell it without any gov't inspection - there have been serious problems with it.
My WHOLE point (which you turned into a campaign and attacks against me) IS IF I CHOOSE TO HAVE RAW MILK OR IF MY NEIGHBOR WANTS TO BUY RAW MILK WTF IS IT ANY BUSINESS OF THE GOVERNMENT TO BAN US FROM OUR PERSONAL FREEDOM OF CHOICE? 100's of Amish people live around me and they are not sick from raw milk. Just because you have a personal vendetta to be argumentative shows a complete lack of intellegence.
PROVE the TB outbreak as it is related to raw milk consumption... where's you data, were's undeniable facts????
you can't substaniate your claims then you are completely clueless.
I drink raw milk.
I was explaining why it was illegal to buy/sell.
Plus organic tastes better and here it is not nearly as expensive as in the US, its 1/3 more expensive then non-organic produce, unlike in the US where it can get up to as much as double the price of non-organic.
you can look for virgin seeds, normally at a farmers market, talk to the farmer him/herself as what you can expect everything to look like, do, harvest by.
Our tomatoes are large and juicy.
Strawberries, blueberries and broccoli absorb a lot of pesticide too.

But, US has GMO Corn Syrup in everything, maybe this why food in US sucks, makes you fat (corn syrup makes you feel hungry all the time) & if research is correct about GMO, than it will make third generation of Americans almost completely sterile. ))
Europe banned Corn Syrup & GMO.
GMOs cross-contaminate other crops, are linked to serious allergies, weight gain, sterility, and even organ damage. They are banned in several other countries and labeled in many more, which raises the question of why the United States doesn’t have the type of transparency that so many other countries do so consumers can avoid the GMO-laced products if they so choose. http://www.deathrattlesports....

I have eaten both and can't tell any difference in the texture or taste of the two and frankly it is a waste of money and a scam in the stores. If you are worried about exposure of chemicals just wash them before cooking and eating them.
