if there is an organization good enuff so it can basicly controll every major war and economic disaster in the last 100 years and still remain a secret, as the movie suggest, I would be willing to pretty much sign my fate over to there much capable hands.

That's been my logic on this crap for years: either A) it isn't true, in which case we needn't worry, or B) even if it is true, "they" obviously command such downright superhuman intellect, resources, and loyalty that resistance is futile. Hence, it doesn't really matter whether or not it's true.

I ate home grown stuff for most of my youth. My Uncle John had the best vegetable patch in our village. I often ate home killed meat as well. I did grow up in New Zealand, which is basically a large farm. It's like Australia, except we don't have sex with our livestock.

Organic food as sold in supermarkets is nothing like that. It's just a lifestyle jerkoff, like these stupid luxury tea houses springing up everywhere. What we need is photographic evidence of the scum who hang out at these places so that they can be executed when the revolution comes.

Perhaps all food around there is already more or less similar to organic then?
Here is a british documentary about british supermarkets. Yummy!

Not having much education about economics, I would be more interested if anyone bothers to explain the whole FED argument, but I wonder if there is anyone here who knows it well enough to explain it to others.

His views on a future 'resource-based economy' (as described in Zeitgeist: Addendum) are positively totalitarian.

It depends. Organic eggs and milk are far superior to their non-organic counterparts. I can keep the organic stuff far past its expiration date, with little loss in quality, while regular food seems to spoil at or before the expiration date. Organic chickens are just plain safer to have in your kitchen, as they aren't anywhere near as toxic as regular chickens. I have noticed a much better flavor from organic pork, but I can't tell the difference between organic beef.

I can now buy organic cheese that it less expensive than name brand cheese, so Aggie's incorrect reason for the purpose of organics doesn't even apply.

They have no nutritional improvement over non-organic foods, and they don't taste better either. Dozens of studies have proved this.

I would say it is a con, but it isn't. People buy them as a form of competitive consumption and just work themselves into believing there is a difference.

Actually, some studies have shown that "organic" foods, depending on where they're grown, can have higher concentrations of heavy metal contamination.

Additionally, all edible food is more or less "organic", since the part we digest invariably contains carbon/hydrogen-based compounds...

Organic has a legal definition in regards food.

I know, Comrade darling.

That said, some stuff isn't bad to buy organic, but other stuff, there's no reason to.
