Selling the Organic Label

I think the whole organic thing is overdone.

Consider ... happy little hippie farmer Serendipity is raising her tomatoes in organic splendor. She spends hours a day picking the aphids off her plants by hand and speaking to them in nurturing tones, encouraging their happy organic growth ...

While just uphill from him, industrial farmer Bob, pushes a button in the big house, and evil pesticide sprays are dispensed all over HIS fields.

God enters the picture ... providing both Serendipity and Bob with plenty of rain to raise their crops.

Water runs downhill from Bob's place, adding a massive dose of pesticide to Serendipity's nice organic tomato plot. And you still pay 3x as much for her tomatoes.
