esmeraldo's comments:
on Are You Gonna Eat That?
This guy really avoided the comments from the farmer in eastern oregon. His ideas are ridiculously unrealistic and seem to avoid a lot of realities. Seems to echo the general chant of the oregon "sustainable movement". Most people don't have time to look for the their neighborhood foodshed and a lot of organic food costs way more than non organic. I paid 9 dollars for three tomatoes the other day at a coop. Most people can't afford that.
Also, the organic classification is an arbitrary certification that was created by the government and is redefined at their discretion.
