Joanna, my sisiter, relayed to me a story involving a discussion she had with her (at that point) future father-in-law. In casual dinner conversation she had mentioned that Esther and I try to eat as much organic that we can. The father-in-law works in the agribusiness, actually works for the largest producer of genetically engineered seeds. My sister’s small mention of my diet turned into a showdown at the OK Corral. Him wondering why anyone would want to eat organic, her finally firing back with the fact that my wife’s father died of cancer and that it’s okay to eat organic.

I found it interesting that Mr. Agribiz was so anti organic. On one hand I can understand, it can eventually take food out of his kids mouth, but after today I have decided that he could ultimately find a new line of work.

CNN is reporting that a California study links autism to pesticides. Now I know that Mr. Agribiz doesn’t work in the pesticides division, but ultimately it’s all the same ball of wax. Needless to say, this blog is certified organic.
