    Because My stuff is healthy whilst everyone else’s stuff isn’t?
    The same as:
    I’m always right and everyone else is wrong.:rolleyes:

    I've gotten so picky over the years that I don't got to restaurants because I think about who's doing the cooking. Fast food is what I lived on for years though, and I loved it, I think I was addicted :D I have familial (most likely because my gramma had it but mom didn't) T2 Diabetes, and I have to think about what's in the only foods I'd care to order:( It's not fun being "different" like that, but basically, I had the "phobia" before I knew I had diabetes.

    I do not like it when folks make a face at what someone else enjoys eating. I think about their health but I keep my mouth shut because I had to find my own way to what I believe is best for me. I mentioned something the other day about something I like to eat, and this gal downstairs loves to make faces, or say something rude.

    I'm not so sure that because it says "organic" that it is anyway, in fact, at this moment I can't think exactly what organic even means, lol!!

    Boy, Beth, your thread here has gotten very interesting! Seriously. And, btw, I'm still thinking about what I want to say in your thread.

    That's the problem. Once you put a ring on her flipper...

    Regarding your wondering what "organic" means...it's more "feelz" than facts (reduce pollution, make animals happy before slaughter) with some restrictions on fertilizer and pesticide use. Some data shows possible health benefits of organic foods when compared with foods grown using the usual/conventional process. (In other words, the Marketing Team did the study.)

    Next we'll take potshots at the false notion that "Buy Local" benefits the environment.

    Well, one was the facial tattoos of rapper Post Malone and Jelly Roll. We are seeing more and more young folks getting facial tattoos and it looks like...........well, you know what I mean. Other than a Tattoo Parlor, just who would hire someone that looked like this? I mean, both Post Malone and Jelly Roll are music celebrities and don't have to worry about having a job.

    Another "why is it?" would be about apartment residents having a pet snake. I notice a young guy, with his girlfriend or wife and their young son and the guy had a yellow/white snake in his hands. I asked a Rental Agent if they were allowed and she said "yes" So much for our complaining.
    The last complex we lived in, the Leasing Agreement stated "no snakes" and our next-door neighbor had one in a glass enclosure by the front window and left the curtains open. I told the manager about the snake and nothing was ever done. Guess people lie all of the time, concerning pets, and will have one that they are not suppose to have, in their apartment.

    On one excursion to Whole Foods, I decided to look at the meats.
    Once my eyes locked onto the Organic Chicken Breasts for $10.99 a lb., I took a step back and decided to stick to the nasty inorganic stuff I’ve been stuffing down my throat for over 70 years.

    I just don’t know how I’ve lived so long without organic food. Hmmmmm. Imma gonna thinks on that fer maybe …..a minute.

    My nephew is a farmer and part of his operation is organic vegetables. They are very difficult to grow because of all the regulations surrounding the organic designation (fertilizers, weeds, etc.) , but he says it is a money-maker.
