Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 As you all know spinach has been tainted with ecoli. Do organic growers fertilize their vegetables with maunure based sprays and products? The reason I ask is organic spinach was pulled off of the shelves as well as nonorganic. Lastly, I have also noticed that the multinationals have begun to produce " organic " cereals, beans etc. Organic symbols adorn the packages. Is this the real thing? I remember during the reign of king Clinton that some were protesting certain guidelines that were set forth concerning organic products. Is " organic " organic and if not, how can I tell the difference? These wolves in sheep's clothing are confusimg me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hello /Michael: I live in a rural area where there are many "organic" farmers and was recently dismayed to learn, after reading an article by a local farmer who was explaining that a local farmer is better than the big corporation farms, that many "organic" farmers use cow manure in their farming process. More "conscious" farmers allow the manure to compost before using it (thinking that any impurities will be eliminated in the composting process) and many make efforts to get manure from cattle that have not been fed antibiotics. I have had a vegetable garden or two and never found it necessary to use anything except a vegetable compost. This whole issue brings to mind the importance of people searching for veganic organic farmers at Farmer's Markets, joining with like minded friends and starting a garden, or growing one's own garden....blessings, Ashtarra michaels6330 Oct 26, 2006 12:15 PM spinach As you all know spinach has been tainted with ecoli.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Not all spinach is tainted. Only a few cases compared to the vast amount of good quality healthy spinach, and only the elderly, sick, or very young are at risk. , " michaels6330 " <michaels6330 wrote: > > As you all know spinach has been tainted with ecoli.
