Organic or Not?

A great article on organic farming and what you're really putting into your bodies.

Cows, of course, are not meant to eat corn. They’re ruminants; their fundamental body design has evolved to consume grasses. Cows are no more meant to eat corn than you and I are meant to eat grass. The corn that they eat makes them quite sick, which is why they have to be pumped full of antibiotics. This doesn’t make them well, but it keeps them from getting so sick that they’d stop growing. We feed cows corn because we grow such an unbelievably huge quantity of it, thanks to ill-planned government farming subsides, so we’ve got to do something with it.
