Don't waste your money on organic food

[QUOTE="gleem, post: 6858910, member: 298988"] Well, not exactly ripen. Some crops like wheat, soybean, and corn are not harvested until they die the reason being to dry out the "fruit" before harvest so it can be stored without rotting and reduce its weight.. At some point, the "fruit" has ripened but the plant is still alive. Glyphosate just speeds up the dying so the crop can be harvested sooner or perhaps at a more convenient time. Some crops are genetically engineered to resist glyphosate so it is used to kill weeds. The point it is one more chemical we are putting into our system. whose long-term effect is unknown. And we wonder why so many younger people have health problems. Yes, organic food is expensive not only because of market demand but it is labor-intensive. And yes natural is not always the best for us nor can it be even safe if the food is grown in areas with naturally occurring high concentrations of heavy metals since plants tend to absorb these metals.
