Organic Foods

I notice when I shop at the standard grocery stores that more and more "organic" products are for sale. The organic food sale has become the latest in trend here to sell groceries to the more affluent market, the one which is willing to pay extra for "organic" products. The public is under the impression that things that are "organic" are better for them, environment friendly or safer to eat. But this is not always so.
The labeling of the organic products is a bit odd. According to the U.S Food and Drug Administration rules, few of the grocery foods or other products labeled as being a organic are truly that. To be organic in origin the label must say "100% Organic". That is the item must contain only organic products (except water and salt). rarely have I seen that label. The second level of organic is labeled "organic". these foods must have 95% organic ingredients (excluding water and salt). Then there is a third category that says "made with organic ingredients" that has 70% organic. that is the one I see most often, and I wonder if buyers realize it really isn't an organic product.
Perhaps they don't care because many organic buyers do it because it is fashionable to buy those goods. Having written that, I think organic will be more and more popular here. Wal Mart, which is the world's biggest retailer, has decided to jump into the organic selling market. I have seen many products there labeled as organic- veggies, fish, even cotton baby clothes. And all are overpriced. But the customers love them and pay whatever is asked. For Wal Mart, selling that stuff is good marketing and builds a good reputation among its customers, so it is a self sustaining thing.
I wonder if this is a good thing for consumers. Maybe I should send you to my "organic"blog, blog that makes sense. Haha It is impossible, I think. I am too polluted to ever be organic.
Another crazy lawsuit to report today. One Alice Alyse, a dancer in a Miami show called "Moving Out", is suing the owners of the show for 100 million dollars in "damages" on the grounds that she was emotionally abused and fired after her breasts grew too large for her costumes. Apparently, when Alice grew from a C to a D cup after gaining a little weight following an injury to her toe. Alice said her breasts grew "naturally" and that the costumes fit everywhere except in the breasts.
Thus, her lawsuit lists wrongful termination, breach of contract, defamation, sexual harassment and intentional infliction of emotional stress. And that is the alleged reason Alice needs $100 million dollars. Ha! What a travesty that suit it. If I were the sitting judge in the case I would tell Alice to forget the 100 million and either have a breast reduction of find another job.
