Default News item; the true cause of vegetable related deaths

organic is much better for you than conventionally grown crops. if you
think those who buy organic are stupid, you should rethink that and
take a look at what chemicals are going into the garbage you call food,
which sewage is being poured on your cereal, how your food is
irradiated to preserve it--then again, i'm sure irradiation is not much
concern to you, nor would you even know the dangers of it since you
think it's absurd to buy organic.

i've been buying organic and when i changed countries and wasn't
familiar with the organic stores around here, i had to go conventional.
my mouth started burning up from the pesticides, i had pain in my
stomach and my body was stressing to remove the poisons. this is
because when you expose yourself to toxins over a long period of time,
your body gets accustomed to it, making it so you wouldn't notice the
damage that the chemicals are causing your body. going organic for a
long time, thus allowing your body to clear itself of toxins, and then
reintroducing the toxins will have some impact, which is why someone
would feel sick after eating completely organic for a long time and
then switching immediated to eating completely conventional.

in getting to know your body you figure out just what is causing your
health problems. i never get headaches, and if i do on the rarest
occasion, i know exactly what causes it. pesticides, chemicals,
irradiation... all that stuff we call "healthy" is destroying our
bodies. given an organic apple, if it were sprayed with raid and then
washed, would you eat it? if your answer is yes, then good for you, if
your answer is no... why not? the chemicals used in your conventional
farming--diluted from chemicals that were invented for chemical
warfare--are a lot more concentrated and stronger than that and those
using them have to wear special respiratory equipment. it's bad for our
health and destroys our environment.

also, regarding radiation... set aside two raw seeds (organic,
preferably, so that they don't run the risk of being sterile)... take
two small dishes of water... microwave one of the dishes of water and
leave the other alone. put the seeds in. see which one sprouts and
which one doesn't. it's simple... irradiation kills, and you don't do
anything wonderful other than confuse the hell out of your cells when
introducing irradiated foods. chances are, you probably use a microwave
without knowing how bad it is for your health.

some people are so ignorant. yes, animal rights are important, but
since many vegans say it's so much healthier to be vegan, i think it's
time they actually looked at a lot of the garbage they eat. then again,
healthy to some may not be healthy to all. for example soy is a very
controversial topic as many believe it's the best thing to eat. i
disagree. that's something else on its own. research it if you're
interested.

also, if you say that pesticides kill bacteria, a living organism, then
why does that make it okay to consume these chemicals? isn't your body
a living organism, full of individual cells? the truth is it's not ok.
organics get a bad rap because more people are growing conscious of the
agricultural industry. organics is taking a bigger share of the market
than ever before. e. coli would come from conventional farming
pastures/factory farms/etc. as organically-grown animals are not
unhealthy and would not need antibiotics to warp the e. coli to some
superbacteria that people die from. the mutated, superbacteria form of
e. coli is from conventional livestock farming, not organic animal
farming nor organic vegetable farming.
