Well I just got back. Seems like a nice store. Stopped at dahls on the way home and picked up some real brats, bakery fresh buns, charcoal , potato chips, and some beer. Have no problem with the store (besides not having the beer tasting) but I'll probably stick with hover/dahls 95% of the time and gateway when I need something special.

There's actually a lot of fruits and vegetables I can tell the difference between. Blackberries, Raspberries, Tomatos, etc..just a few of them that I can tell the difference. Doesn't mean it's always good, but there's a different for sure between organic and "non-organic"
1. Everything on the internet is TRUE.
2. The link, which is a non-controlled, unscientific experiment, is irrefutable proof that there is no difference in taste for ALL organic foods.
3. Eggs are the same things as vegetables.
I can tell no difference in the taste of eggs EITHER. I CAN tell a difference in the taste of eggs and milk. I cannot stand non-organic milk. It is just nasty anymore to me after drinking organic milk. And there are some foods that I think taste worse as organics and won't eat them. In addition, when we have fed our youngest son regular chocolate, he breaks out in a rash almost instantly. When we feed him organic chocolate, he DOES NOT. There is a difference in the foods.

There's nothing more delicious than a pint of blueberries infused with Judas Priest or Iron Maiden.
You must not have experienced the "Piggly Wigglys" south of the Mason-Dixon line..

In fact I have. I purchased a container of hot boiled peanuts that I scooped out of a soup warmer myself in Charleston, SC. Even still, it's got nothin' on Wegman's.

Agree on Wegman's. I was in upstate New York, in the Finger Lakes area, once for work. I asked the locals that I was working with if there was anything I should see/do while I was in town. They listed several different things and then added, "Oh, and you've got to go to Wegman's." I'd never heard of it before and assumed it was a restaurant. When they told me it was a grocery store I was like, "Okayyyy, you're obviously starved for entertainment up here." But, I did visit it, and while I'm still not sure that it's the first thing I would put on a tourism guide, it was a very, very nice store.
ummm... that was a joke...however, the boiled peanuts do sound good but I am a pork rind fan myself.
I will be snowmobiling in upstate NY with friends this winter and will look up this Wegman's you speak of ! :smile: Thankyou !
cheers
would have thought a scientist with the background you have would understand that the organic 'craze' is not about taste, but about taking as much agricultural pollution as possible out of the equation. nothing wrong with that.
also, plenty of evidence that foods raised in a more organic/traditional way has more nutrient content than does food from a 'factory farm', and certainly less 'heavy metals' (like arsenic which are used in factory egg farm applications......just one example)...
would much rather feed my family protein not shot up with all the 'meds' and 'hormones' and 'preservatives' that go into the animals in modern day agriculture. and same with the fruits and vegetables. to think otherwise is curious.

Haha. If you're going to be near Syracuse and like barbecue (and blues music), I also suggest checking out Dinosaur BBQ.

I hope I can grab my (non-organic) popcorn in time for the good doctor's response to this... :yes:
This. When available I will always chose to feed myself and my family with as much food without preservatives, hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, additives, etc, as much as possible. To me, it's just common sense and I can afford it. Certainly not able to do it all the time, but Whole Foods gives me more of a readily available option, so I will shop there as much as possible. Plus, I can afford it.
Oh, and if you think a cheap tomato, coming from outside the US, that has been sprayed with preservatives, and can sit on your counter for 5 days without changing, tastes the same as a local organic tomato....you don't eat the same BLTs that I do. I feel sorry for you, because they're glooooooorious.
In general, organic production increases environmental pollution per unit of food. There are reams of data showing no differences in nutrient content or availability between conventional and organic. Heavy metals is one of many problems in the organic industry because they use manure (****) which accumulates in animal's. The idea that meds, hormones and preservatives are in conventionally grown food is just not true. It's a lie solid to the public to scare folks and increase organic sales. I'm sorry you believe all these lies. Would love to sit down and discuss it with you sometime.
Using extra punctuation marks just to sound smart. Typical behavior of the government angricultural complex.
Did posts in this thread prior to his not make it about taste?
FWIW, the Aldi's fruit tastes better than Whole Foods. Neither compare to the produce from the family farm, which has been non-organic for 100+ years.
This is pure insanity. A '94 Chevy Cavalier can outrace a 2013 Corvette too.
While I'm posting in the WF thread. A couple recommendations.
1. Virgil's Cream Soda and Root Beer. They have like 5 ingredients and are the best tasting carbonated beverages I've had in my life, especially the cream soda.
2. Parrano cheese and the aged version Robusto. They are gouda cheese but done in a flavor more like Italian cheese. Really incredible, think if Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese was a little creamy.
