tmiddles, That post about the rain forest and cattle rang so true. I remember a song, Joni Mitchell i think, about a tree museum. And cutting down a forest for cattle ranching is so outrageous!! |

I said like Kosher It's not a dictionary thing, a group of people get together and they say we're going to call this organic farming in the country of France. They literally make a list of rules regulations and guidelines. It's a human constructed system. It varies country to Country. Again not to be found in the dictionary but to be found by the organization involved. Like kosher |

Okay, water is not typically described as 'food', but we do ingest it. Salt is sometimes called food, but its more of a seasoning.

There are true allergies to certain nuts, and much more rarely, glutens such as wheat. Most who claim such allergies do NOT have them. It's psychosomatic. Normally, your body goes through different allergies as it ages. When I was younger, I had a class 4 allergy to cut ryegrass (that is a disabling allergy, in my case, it caused temporary blindness). This grass is typically used in freeway medians. If I passed someone mowing it, I had to get off the road in minutes. Today, I have no reaction to it at all other than an occasional sneeze. I simply grew out of it. My body learned to not overreact to it. People who get stung too much by bees may develop an allergic reaction to them. Allergies are funny things. What is sad is that people imaging a lot of allergies they don't actually have purely so they can get some attention. They are lonely people with little meaning to their lives.

Various countries have various organizations that specify certain qualifications for a product to be labeled as "organic". It isn't defined as having carbon in it! |
