Is Organic Any Better

I was walking around in a large grocery store, lately, one 
that is particularly popular with the organic crowd. You
can tell you’re in the right place by the number of Volvo
automobiles parked outside. And by the bumper stickers.

I was there because the produce in my regular store just
wasn’t up to par, this week, many of the shelves being empty,
and others containing products past their prime. 

I decided to stray into packaged products and I was 
surprised at the number of aisles of junk food in "the temple."
Not only were there just as many choices of potato chips,
cheese curls, crackers and other junk, but people were filling
their carts with them. I checked a few labels and, though some
of this crap was labeled organic, it certainly stretched the
definition of "healthy."

Here’s an example. Potato chips, baptized as organic, had 370
mg of sodium per serving. A serving is described as 1/2 ounce,

    which is probably no more than 5-10 chips. Since any normal

person would eat more than that, more like 3-4 ounces, even if
they had pretty good self control, the sodium content alone in a
normal serving would be more than 1500mg, way higher than you
might need for an entire day, and that’s not counting any other
"healthy" thing that you might eat.

I headed back to the produce section, found some very nice 
cauliflower, some gorgeous Brussel sprouts and some great
looking pears. As I got in line to check out, I noticed that a good .
number of the people on line were rather large. Using my eagle
eyes, I perused some of the stuff they were buying. Sure enough,
about half of what was hitting the belt was junk food, of one sort
or another. 
I had an urge to stand up on that belt and give a sermon,
but I stifled myself, paid my bill and headed home. This
store appeals to the better educated, supposedly smart
group of people, many of whom favor the nanny state.
It turns out that they are just as gullible as the poorer folks
they want to help (as in those overweight "chirren" they are
always talking about.)

Just as a rose is a rose is a rose, junk food is junk food is
junk food…and it makes you fat. The organic label just makes
it more expensive to get that way (and that’s assuming you can
believe it).
