People are so gullible: Organic is a first-rate SCAM

Some call me cheap. That's ok with me. I'd rather think that I am frugal. A friend used to say (regarding his money) "It went in (tapping his pocket) slow, and it's coming out slow."

I've been watching the "organic" revolution for some time and I've reached the conclusion that the American buyer is 100% gullible. I grew up in the country. I grew crops, managed cattle, killed animals and ate the fruits of my labors. I've been "organic."

This all started (for me) when the local grocery store renovated and sent me an invitation to the "Grand Re-Opening" sale. I needed vegetables, so I sought their bargains. I got to the "NEW" organic section of the produce and picked up some squash: 3 of them (that's all I needed), for $6!!! That's an outrage. There is NO squash on the planet worth $2 per. I could go to a truck farmer and buy a bushel for $6, and know that it came directly from the earth to his truck, to my hands.

The other thing that has caught my attention is "Grass Fed" beef. What a scam! People are willing to part with increasing sums of hard-earned cash (quite rapidly) for a label. I've got a secret. Come closer. ALL COWS EAT GRASS (see photo)!! Sure they may eat some supplements, but you will never see a cow walking around a field eating a candy bar. They eat grass. It's either green grass or brown grass (hay).

Here's the lesson: If you didn't pick it, kill it, or buy from the picker/butcher, it ain't organic and you are being ripped off! So go ahead and part with your money and feel good about your purchases. Just remember, you've been had!
