We all know how important organic food is, there's no need to write a whole post about it. How you get your organic food is on the other hand another matter.
If you go to the supermarket, you have two choices: regular or organic. Organic costs twice or three time as the other fruits and vegetables and forgive me for saying but half of the products taste horrible, have nothing to do with the real ones.
If you have a garden, you can grow some of your fruits, vegetables and spices yourself but not everyone is so lucky. Even if you have a garden, you can't grow everything due to the weather or just because the soil is not the proper one for what you want to grow.
So what's the best solution? You go to the farmers market (if you have one near where you live). This seems to be the best solution, but is it really the best solution? Can you trust the vendors?
If you ask me, I'm a bit skeptical about this matter because I've seen quite a lot and I know how people are. It was in August I think when I heard an interview on the radio, it was a nutritionist talking about how important is to eat right and how to choose your fruits and vegetables.
The woman said it's best to eat homegrown fruits and vegetables and if you don't have the possibility to do that, buy from trusted source. Then she told her story to the audience about how how much you can trust vendors at the farmers market. She had a vendor she used to buy from, a trusted source, the woman always told her she's not using pesticides and her products were always fresh. One day the nutritionist went to the seed shop to buy some seeds and there it was her farmers market vendor buying pesticides. She confronted the woman who seemed to be ok with her lie, she said this is life.
Unfortunately this is not the only case, vendors would tell you what you want to hear. Once I wanted to buy some sweet corn. It's called sweet corn and there are many types. I'm used to those that are not so sweet but unfortunately the market is flooded with the most sweet type which I don't like. Each label says sweet, so one day I asked a vendor how sweet the cor is. He said it's very sweet, the best I can get around here. Then I said thank you, I'm not looking for sweet ones. Guess what was his answer? He said it's not so sweet, I can buy it because it's perfect for me. Of course it is! :) Everything is for sale, right?
So what's the best solution:
- Buy organic from the supermarket?
- Trust the farmers market vendors?
- Not care about if it's organic or not?
