I do not have very good access to organic, but I am even learning about the different quality of food made in different areas of the world. For myself, I try to buy food that is from the same province in Canada first, then the closest province, then the same country, then from there I have preferred areas based on what the food does to my body. I find food grown in one particular state in the US is pretty much guaranteed to give me major problems. I also found out this company owns 90% of the food growing land in that state, and they have had some serious polution accidents that have really affected the food. I have gotten to actually reading the stickers on the food, and when I find one that I like or dislike, I pay attention and shop accordingly. In my research I found out it is better to have regular salad (or whatever) than none at all. Ideally I would like to find out which companies in the world do what to their land, what chemicals they use, what their land practises are, etc. So far I have not found a source of info on this, but I'll keep looking.

But they are simply not available to everyone. For some, they are just out of reach price wise. And for some of us, who live in the middle of nowhere they just are not available, period. We do see some organic produce in the supermarket these days, on little foam trays, sealed in with plastic wrap, and god knows how old it is because it all looks rotten. And though many people here do grow what they can, including myself, there is no way to grow much more than what amounts to a fresh veggies of limited variety for a few meals during the short growing season. We all must do the best we can with what is available. I use a lot of canned foods, and I don't think I'd give up my supplements even if I lived in the middle of a year-round farmer's market. I just don't believe I can get the nutrients I need from food, because I don't believe they are in there to be gotten. paula -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
