From the mind of critic: “Is it still true that everything good for us tastes bad, and everything bad for us tastes good? Has technology, combined with human ingenuity and taste buds upset the old paradigm, that has survived ever since organic became non-conventional? Has big business, mega corporate farming and feed lots seen dollar signs, and made sure people have 15 different kinds of coconut chips, and a dozen different kinds of rice and nut milks? Have products arose which appear healthy because of organic ingredients and bright packaging, but are filled with just as much salt, fat, sugar and carbs? Have we let ignorance in the door because we want to eat good, we just don’t want to to think about it? Many of us hated eating broccoli as a kid, unless it was smothered in cheese. However, we might have been more likely to eat it if it was purple or orange, or advertised in a funny YouTube video. We can all agree many more options are available today so we can eat well. The meaning is good, people want to take care of their bodies, just like taking care of their families. Problems arise when we start ceding control to somebody, or some company who has more power, money and influence, and therefore whose word must carry more weight. Once we realize our taste buds change as we get older, and some things we used to like we hate and vice versa, we’ll see it’s us who adjusts our choices and likes, not the endless stream of money changers and gate keepers capitalizing on our choices, steering us toward what makes them money, not what keeps us healthy. Lots of people try to dupe us, we block them by not duping ourselves. Old paradigms are upset, because people see the falsity in “it’s always been that way”. Our taste buds might change, but our taste for something that wont harm us never will. Flooding the market with crap we don’t need is a CEOs dream, blocking that flood with truth, critical thought and education is ours. Organic used to be conventional, and will be again, when Bayer-Monsanto is revealed as the wolf in sheep’s clothing it really is.” ?
