Organic verses Ordinary

How long do you want to live Part 2
Organic versus Ordinary
Organic is really on the increase these days The I don't know about  your supermarket but I know with mine we've have a great choice of a veggies and  fruit that is supposed to be organic, but is it.
 How can you tell when it is organic or not, that the question I will never get the answer for as I have asked the super market staff and never got the a real answer. what it say's on the label is the answer I get to.
 One would have to go to the farmer to get the real answer. If you buy your veggies at a local market stall that would be better than the supermarket as you could ask the farmer there.
By the meaning of "Organic" it means "Grown Naturally" with the compost you can recycle. Personally, I would have organic every time, but it hard to tell if it is or not. The saga goes on.

Now we come to the other veggies that are grown or better put are forced grown to give you the size but not the flavour, it is all about speed and when it comes down to it, for profit. The more they can grow in a short space of time the better. In some countries of the world the farmers try to squeeze two or three crops a year out of one field, they are not satisfied with the one crop in it's season. In the United Kingdom they erect polythene tents for miles to force the fruit through the ground and to have it ripen, organic???
We see them spraying the fields and told if we live nearby to keep our animals inside for a few days after they have sprayed to let the chemical soak in to the ground. If the animals walk on the fresh chemical soil and then lick there paws they could die, that tells me a lot what kind of chemicals they are using to grow and enhance our veggies.
I leave the answers to this riddle to you to figure out, Good health to you.
