i dont buy it much but thats cause im a cheap bastard, but organic is better cause it usually means no pestisides or hormones which are associated with long term health risks and are bad for the environment. |

that reminds me of a friend om mines grandparents. they're both about 75 / 80.
both still as healthy / happy / fit as ever. up until about 2-3 years ago they owned and ran a fully functional farm.
As they celebrated their 60th wedding, a tribute video was made about the couple. Woman said that in her entire lifetime, she's only ever taken 1 pill (a painkiller or something)
it's amazing to see how some people who've worked so hard in their life, and at such an old age they're still as active as ever. |

they didnt use as many pestisides back then. An example of such an effect is plummeting sperm count for males (which scientist hypothosize is from chemical environmental factors). Since i worked on a farm i have an idea what gets put on ur food and outside the usa dangerous banned pestisides are often used. |
