rob, I’d think as one who actually has a dog you presumably love, you’d have some feeling for animal suffering. Organic applied to animals means *some* measure of non-cruelty. At least for that, support it.
:-/ sorry bozo, but dogs are the only animal that have created a bong with man since the dawn of time. if they were being abused i would care. but they aren’t when it comes to the food industry (well except for chinatown i guess)
I think a lot of us expect our ‘organic’ whatever to also be somewhat natural. As Denton described, the process to dehydrate and then concentrate those strawberries doesn’t seem quite so natural. Maybe organic wasn’t meant to encompass natural, but it seems like a no brainer that it should. As far as how the animals are treated, I have no problem coming out and saying I don’t give a shit if the chickens get to run free in the sunshine or if they are limited in their space.
denton, missed the rant about ‘industrial process’, so withdraw the little green men comment.
But what validity is that? So what if there’s a ‘process’ to extract the juice and store it for later. It IS organically grown with all its benefits, so what’s your beef? It’s not even particularly processed, apparently (no list of REALLY questionable preservative, additives, etc.) so what?
“Scenes From An Italian Restaurant is such a classic.â€
I think we could rock this as a duet tonight. But then again, it might cause the crowd to throw tomatoes (frozen, from Wendy’s, of course)
cmu, a strawberry concentrate is about as far from a strawberry as an organic supermarket chicken is from a chicken running around your back yard.
It’s still a victim of a major industrial process.

“lech, nice to see you’re off your meds again”
Were the meds organic, at least?
cmu, why do you have to muck up a discussion of organic yogurt with caged animals? It’s a whole different discussion.
>What I said was that there wasn’t a single strawberry in it
excuse me denton, where do you think ‘strawberries from concentrate’ comes from? Little green men with bunsen burners?
yeah i know!
