Well i go to school in an area that is a ginormus (big, sry not a real word) producer of apples, pears, and other fruits. I mean this place is huge, its one of the top world suppliers for fruits. And you know what? When orchirdists spray chemicals the chemicals wafts into neighboring organic orchirds, so those the run off/eregation waters(which have chemicals).
The only reason i dont like organics is because all the Yuppies buy organics because it makes them feel like they are serving a higher purpose or helping something. In this case the earth, or whatever charitable things organics advertise, for instance look at ben and jerries packaging, it gives off a holier than though feeling, as do most organics. Because of this organics has turned into a trend, for instance you say that celebs and rich people eat them (by the way there is a good book on stanford law students turning into hippies because of the status symbol, i forgot the title of the book, ill get back to you on that.), that what im talking about, people are buying organics because its a trend.
I just think its lame how everyone is buying into organics because they think that what they are paying twice as much for is twice as good for you. In reality it prolly isnt.
oh and im sry if my reply is poorly written, im not a very good wrtitter.
