We eat pretty darn good. Thanks! I agree that much organic stuff tastes better, but don't get too hung up on it. More likely to die of something else.

I hate the word organic. Real food is a bteer way. No way my family gets non organic stuff. Chicken is the main thing to search out organic as non organic chicken kills hundreds in Oz every year, can't imagine how many it kills in the U.S.

sprintman, in what way are these chooks killing us ?

I know yucky duck (KFC) doesn't use organic, but don't think that's the core issue.

obbop,
there's an old Australian curse that your picture reminded me of.

"May your chooks turn into emus and kick your dunny down !"

Used to live in apple country. Farmers could buy some expensive nasty chemical to thin the trees instead of hiring thinners. Stuff was super concentrated and you would uses oz's for hundreds of gallons in the sprayer. Farm help being what it was they would slop some in close enough. Result would be deformed apples that weren't picture perfect in size, shape and sugar content. Choices were sell them cheap to the juicers, or sell them at great profit as "organic". Guess what the choice was?

I have a biddy who says he used to eat natural foods, but he's afraid he'll die of natural causes.

Post has gone. I'll try again. Go to Four Corners web site and look in 2003 or 2004 archives for transcription for The Silver Bullet. It's all about VRE. As David Reyne said on morning TV a few mths back "feading your kids non-organic chook is child abuse' Dead right.

sprintman, thanks for that.

IMHO, it's more like "routinely feeding antibiotics to animals should be a criminal offence".

Did you read it in full? Dumb producers and dopey politicians. That particular program started with the TV crew at Canberra Hospital to interview a lady with VRE superbug. As they arrived her rels all turned up, she was dead. Hospitals are hiding the real death figures as it would 'scare the public' too much. What Australia and America do with chicken is ilegal in many countries. Profit over life.
