but seriously, you want to see something disgusting?? Check out the field cucumbers next time you are shopping. They put 10x more wax on them than apples

Seriously, that stuff is mostly hype, and there's been almost no legitimate study done proving organic food to be in any way healthier than regular food.
So what if they put wax on the apples. It's edible, it meets FDA standards, it's not going to kill you. As long as you lay off the frozen pizza and McDonald's cheeseburgers, you'll be fine, there's no need to get obsessive about it.

Really now, there's no need to follow me into other threads and call me names just because I don't respect the authority of your beloved Jebus.

You're not cool until you've had at least one online stalker troll.

Dude I don't care about that.
Its the fact that you blindly follow FDAs regulations that bothers me. I mean, theres just so much bullshit they do, like that Bt New Leaf potato classification.
I mean, its a genetically modified potato with inscecticide in it. But under FDA regulations its not labeled as such. And WTF kind of game is that?
