[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by gabe [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by M.W. Hemphill Uranium occurs in nature too. Do you want that added to your food? No? It used to be added to pottery glaze, which ended up in your food, which ended up in your gut. The point of organic farming is to avoid artificial substances that weren't there when the human being was first designed by nature (or God, whichever your personal ideology believes), to avoid ingesting things that are either poisonous or out-of-spec from the original design. Personally, I like eating all sorts of things that are quite bad for your health -- bacon, Necco wafers, and juicy corn-fed cows come to mind -- but I do respect the right of others to do business and eat food as they see fit. I do wish everyone would drop the "railroads were there first so they have carte blanche to do whatever they feel like" mantra. That philosophy is very dangerous; if you take it to it's next logical step, we'll be giving Native Americans the right to set up their lodges in back yards and cutting down our ornamental shrubs for firewood, followed by the Native Americans arguing among themselves that it's really the Athabaskans who own everything because they were the first across the Bering Land Bridge, etc. Besides, when the C&NW's predecessor reached Council Bluffs in 1867, there were plenty of farmers already in Iowa, so on its own facts the statement is false. [/quote] I don't feel too educated right about now. Mark takes the trouble to give this great post and the entire time I am reading it all I can think of is (in a Homer-Simpson like voice): Mmmm Juicy Corn Fed Cows. I can unpack my brief case now. Gabe [/quote] Darn it Gabe, and Mark. Now I'm gonna have to have steak today... My wife was looking through the Omaha Steaks catalog earlier for a gift and between that and you guys... Maybe I can hit a steer with my choo choo and drag it in on an mty 89' flat...lol... LC
