Organic Fruit

In my opinion, "organic" is a gimmick. Why charge more when you're saving all that money by not using chemicals? I wash my fruit and vegetables well and I'm perfectly healthy. I'm not going to spend $1.50 on a piece of fruit that's organic when I can get regular for $.50. It's a scam and I would definitely not pay for home delivery. I avoid organics for the sake of my budget.

I don't use any home deliveries first because I would rather buy from a bigger place where foods can be traced in case of sickness. I also live by myself and they usually want you to buy a bigger quanity then I can use. So alot of it would go to waste. The way it is now I throw way too much!

I eat organic fruit when it is available where I shop. I recently switched supermarkets and they sell organic raspberries and blueberries. I bought those several times. If I could afford to, I'd buy all organic fruit. I think buying organic fruit and veggies make a huge difference in our health.

I try to eat organic food when I can, either home grown or from the farmers market. There is a big difference in the taste of certain organic fruits in relation to their mass produced counterparts, but like you say there is a huge difference in price too - as least at supermarkets. There isn't a custom of home delivery where I live as I am a little out of range of most delivery perimeters.

organic fruit and vegetables are hard to find and if they are available they are a little bit expensive than there counter part. I think you just really have to wash your fruits and veggies properly it well still be as good and beneficial like the so called "organic" they have the same vitamins and minerals. It would be very nice to eat those kind of food no pesticides but i think its more practical to save money on buying the regular ones.

I think so but I couldn't understand the sign up issue. What will happen after you sign up?

I would definitely not sign up for purchase of fruit; this is a very tricky thing and normally I am a person who would not like to waste but would not like to manage eat a fruit even if it is rotten on one corner.Even while buying fruits from the vendor in person, sometimes we get saddled with one or two bad pieces and my husband just hates it. He refuses to even eat fruit becasue we get cheated here and they are quite expensive at our place. I go for bananas and seasonal fruit. I do not know if they are organic; but I can sense that there is less pesticide when I look at ripe mangoes or bananas. I am wary of many but if I buy them in perrson, I buy oranges and sweet lime where the damage is controlled.

I wouldn't sign because like you say you can grow your own food and don't have to pay anything to anybody. But yes organic is good for the body. because chemically dependent agriculture harms the environment and puts human health at risk. Pesticide or fertilizer laden runoff from farmlands washes into rivers, lakes, and streams, contaminating waterways, and destroying habitat. Many pesticides are also toxic to health, and have been linked to respiratory problems, neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, cancer and reproductive problems. Every year, farm workers and people living near conventional farms suffer from poisonings and serious health effects from pesticide spraying. By supporting organic agriculture, we reward farmers who have made significant efforts to eliminate the need for harmful chemicals.
