Kamilla,
I've been following this exchange with great interest. Please, define for
me, what is "organic?" Is DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) organic?
What about 1.5-pentanediamine ("cadaverine")? Is pasteurization of milk
acceptable? How about boiling potatoes? Irradiating spices? In each of
these three cases, the chemical structure of the food stuffs is being
altered.
Just curious, (not grandstanding, I had to look "cadaverine" up).

Or, you could always go organic. It's also the best alternative for the
survival of the family farm. I didn't buy much corn this year, but I'll
tell
you that the eggs I get from free-range chickens actually taste like eggs.
And
the sugar snap peas never tasted so good.
