These are good questions.

 

The ifrst question is very controversial.. As it stands now,I think organic

mainly refers to chemicals. The agribusinesses want organic to mean that but

they want to allow animals being in close quarters, etc. The best example is

Organic Valley, which is a farm cooperative. They have certain limits on how

the animals are treated, etc. They are fighting Horizon Dairies because horizon

wants to keep animals in close quarters.

here's a link

There is always a new " wonder food " ohn the horizon. Pomegranate is the

poster child now. It does have lots of antioxidants. So do lots of other

botanicals. Before it was Noni juice. It was promoted by at least one

multilevel company. Some foods are better nutritionally. However, it depends

on your " dosha " , metabolism, allergic response, etc. if you are adept, then you

can always use a pendulum or muscle testing to find out what's best for you.

Double check to see if you are getting good results. Even do double blind tests

at first.

OT questions

 

Hi,

Two questions I'm thinking this group will probably be able to

answer. Sorry they're not recipe related.

1. When purchasing organic foods such as milk, cheese, whatever are

the animals treated any better than the other animals used to produce

the same products? I know organic is refering to chemicals etc but a

co-worker asked me this question and I didn't have an answer. Your

still eating animal products of course but I'm curious about the

condition and treatment of the animals themselves.

2. There is a lot of hype about pomagranit juice lately being

extremely healthy ie: cancer fighter etc. Does anyone believe all of

this or done any independent research besides the company that is

selling their product. It's very expensive.

Thanks for any info.
