Organic

It was the last weekend of the outdoor farmer's market in St. Albert so my friend and I decided to visit and see what they had to offer. Quite frankly, I am not a believer of organic, free-range or buying food within a 100 mile radius. You know why? Because I am keeping it real. It's expensive and how do we know for sure these so called "farmers" are not just grabbing crates of fruits from the local wholesale store and changing the labels to make it look "organic"? Does it mean people who eat organic have a better chance of living healthy lives? Not really.

Call me a cynic or a party pooper but really, you just have to be smart with the food you eat. I grew up in a country where resources are scarce and we had very few choices in the food we ate. My fellow countrymen get by. They may not be totally nourished but we are still alive and kicking. Sometimes, we humans are just way too paranoid. For all we know, there is a grand plan out there that we are going against. People are just living longer--we definitely have an ageing population that the younger generation is not ready to take care of. 

This may sound evil but if you do want to live long...long enough to get your stuff done in this world, go and eat healthy and organic. If you love living on the edge, eat whatever, whenever you like. Makes sense.

I say stop worrying-- just live.
