Yeah pretty simple, what's your take on the whole organic food thing? Its a real oddity to me as so many leftists are pro "organic" and sustainably, yet it is so contrary to many of their other beliefs. Also living in an are that is very conservative, I don't see many local farmers following organic practices. Don't even get me started on the amount of GMO corn they buy to entice the deer to hang out near their tree stands.

The problem is that many poisons are allowed into the chain while still allowing the organic label. Personally, I don't trust the organic label.

I really don't either, but the only other alternatives are to grow /raise all your own food including the feed required to raise you meat source. Then the butchering. As a first generation farmer, how would one even undertake such a momentous task?
The other alternative is to just eat whatever and hope for the best and this is just plain ignorance.

how would one undertake such a task?

You don't. You're setting your goal way too high and would be doomed. Respectfully, your sights lower. Don't try to grow all your own food- how about just making yourself self sufficient with one high value product, like eggs? Just that one goal is big enough for many folks, at least for a while. Then once you get proficient in egg production you can learn how to process chickens for meat, since you already have chickens around. Or for gardening, grow a small garden but not with the goal to replace your trips to the grocery. Rather, learn how to preserve what you grow. Canning, dehydrating and freeze drying are all skills to learn. Grow specific produce to try different preserving methods. Only once you have those kinds of skills in place are you ready to start growing big gardens and thinking about true self sufficiency.

Solid advice, I've been raising some chickens for almost a year now, still getting the hang of it, also attempting to clear a wooded lot with a chainsaw and a brush cutter is a lot of work, didn't really want to pay for someone to come in with heavy equipment to remove all the trees and destroy the very little topsoil we have. Its way more than I expected.

Yep, i just focus on avoiding all overly processed/ packet/ convenience foods esp all the additives/ preservatives/ food colors / artifical flavors etc, all goyslop, all soda and never add refined sugar to anything (except 1 teaspoon in my only coffee of the day - a triple shot expresso with full cream) . i mostly purchase from a small free range/ grass fed butchery - free range eggs (natures protein bombs). Of course it is not 100% foolproof, however i'd like to think it eliminated probably 80-90% of the crap in my food and my physical/ mental health has improved massively since i began circa the beginning of the holo-cov .

The extra cost associated with 'free range/ organic' is personally off set by noticing i dont feel hungry between meals and dont need to spend money on constant gorging of cheap snack foods all day long. Nutrient dense foods win over HCFS/ seed oil/ sugar drenched goyslop all day long.

EDIT: One also has to do their own research into what different organic products on offer actually means.

Agreed. I go to local farms and buy from them. I won't buy meat from a grocery store where you don't know where the meat is from.

I want enough land that I can grow my own fruits and veggies. My wife claims she's too old to start farming, to which I responded, "You're too old to grow your own food?" She looked at me dumbfounded like she only learned in that moment that was even a possibility.

I then went for the jugular with raising our own beef cows and could have good steaks whenever we wanted.

If you want organic, grow it yourself. It's all the same crap if you go to kike owned retail chains.

I've been attempting to pull myself and family out from under the grip of the kike owned retail chains, it is not an easy task where I live. The soil is horrible. Put it this way, this area was not settled during colonial times until the logging really took off, it has always been near impossible to grow and sustain a farm in this area. Many will call me out as BS, but I don't have the means to quit my job and farm full time for 5 years just to feed myself "healthy organics" . Its one of the reasons I hate the kikes so bad, they have fucked every aspect of our world all the way down to food, medical care, and family interactions.

I'm in the same situation as you, as many others are.

If you can go to the county fairs where the 4H kids are auctioning off their animals. It's a fun and wholesome experience. Plus a lot of good meat!

I do purchase organic fruits and vegetables, and will foregoing them if I can’t find them. That being said, they can still be sprayed with pesticides and other carcinogens. Always soak your fresh fruit and vegetables in a water and baking soda mixture, regardless of labeling. It will remove some of the crap. Now the Bill Gates’ apeel? No one knows. AND it won’t be labeled.

the only way i know we're eating organic, is what we grow. though we do buy it for making bird food, i think the word itself is misnomer just like 'keto'

When I used to make a lot more money, I’d shop at Whole Foods because it was the closest to my house and my girlfriend at the time liked shopping there. I didn’t care about it being organic. I didn’t care about the price back then because I was pissing money away.

I will say I recall it being some of the nicest grocery store produce I’ve ever seen. Everything was gorgeous and tasty…..and 3x the price of “regular” grocery stores.

Yeah I shopped there too when I lived near one. I have not in years and can say the last time I was in one was a different experience since its now owned by Bezos/Amazon. Oh and we used to call it "Whole Paycheck" cuz it was that expensive.

organic still has pesticides

I can't remember now what kind of orange it was, but I did go organic when something looked the same as non-organic and amazingly was cheaper. Usually I don't buy citrus since I grow tangerine-oranges, grapefruits and lemons, but the citrus wasn't ready off the trees yet so I needed to buy.

Even though it says organic, it can still be GMO.

I like pure organic White milk. The dairy cows aren't exposed to chemicals or toxins. It tastes so much better. I'll never be an almond soyboy faggot. Our cow on our farm we named Marta is only eating non pesticide greenery and grains.
