organic foodstuffs can bite me

fuck me bob, i'll take 'mankind's greatest bullshit' for $10 thanks...

what is with the god-damned over abundance of so-called organic foodstuffs now. geez, a few years ago nobody gave a rats arse if DDT was the main ingredient in their weetybix yet now totally different story. i understand that people are concerned about their intake, the environment, etc etc but it's a little hard to stomach someone rabidly chasing down an entirely organic shopping list while choking down the third cup of joe for the day inbetween inhaling the second pack of Camel non-filtered.

i get organic and have two organic producers as clients. i thinks it's a great thing. i buy into it. i'm sold. but, and it's a bigger 'but' than J.Lo on a fried chicken binge. an organic stamp is not entirely honest. many products have organic certification from companies that simply hand it over for cash with little or no paperwork needed to back up the claim. quite a few products feature prominent organic certs that they simply invented. it's seldom checked, at the moment anyways.

here's my main point of anger towards 'organic'. the term is meant to be used to point out that the product in question was made with no use of fertilizer or pesticide. YET, i'm seeing friggin organic spring WATER for god's sake?!? what the fuck is organic spring water? really. it's spring water, from a fucking SPRING!!! no production short of bottling the stuff needs to come into play. yet somehow it's organic?!? sure some water is filtered from all over the place like sewage treatment plants, nuclear hydro ponds, amsterdam's canals etc and sure it's worth pointing out that the good stuff has been bottled from the source whereas this other clear shite is treated poison, but doesn't the 'Spring' in 'Spring Water' give that shit away?

i'm thinking the term 'organic' is being a little stretched. one dictionary definition says:"Of, relating to, or derived from living organisms: organic matter." - dictionary.com. i'm thinking some half smart fucknuckle wised onto people's shear stupidity and whacked on 'Organic' knowing that it is legally an organic compound by definition and that people are too thick and trend-fixated to think beyond the label. i think that sarcastic prick is probably right.

organic water. it's up there with a product called 'thinning water'. gold. unless it comes with tapeworm eggs, an aggressive water-bourne cancer agent or razor blades in it i'm thinking that's kind of complete shite also. i guess if it comes with a 'recommended dietary intake: take 2 bottles daily ONLY, do not eat. repeat for 2 weeks" it'd make you lose weight.

if there are aliens thinking of invading this panet and destroying our species can you make it quick please.
