[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16976"] For what little I know about organic food growing (vegetables or meat), true that growers can't use inorganic fertilizers or pesticides. The flip side of the coin is that when you go "au natural", that leaves the door wide open for noxious insects and other pests; therefore, there seems to be a higher loss percentage that can't be sold. The other factor is that any organic "grower" has a tremendous amount of paperwork, and state inspections, and other stuff. Still the other factor is all those "organic nuts" out there that are afraid they might eat some real normally grown food (probably the same ones that live on $1. a glass bottled water). To keep their "bodies pure", then the organic food consumers are more than willing to pay outrageous prices for "pure food" (and, some of the attraction to paying high prices for food "might" be a status thing--like, "guess how much I paid for your ground beef?".
