Organic
I work in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the last bastion of aging hippies who still worship the same Nature that has turned them into scrawny scarecrows.
On occasion, I will go out during my lunch hour for a brisk walk and a quick tour of the Theme Park that is Cambridge.
Today, I walked up to the Whole Foods store to pick up some spinach pasta. For some reason the big supermarkets have stopped carrying it in their stores, so I am left with the Whole Foods option as a supplier. It is a fun trip and a blast from the past.
I took a nice walk up to the Whole Foods store and found the usual shelves full of "Cage Free Eggs" and "Organic Chicken Broth" (in a box) and Carob Chips (remember that stuff?) and "Organic Valley Whatnot". The best thing I found, though, was a bottle of stuff to wash off your vegetables. Here is the label that was on the (plastic) container:
|
FRUIT & VEGETABLE WASH PROVEN TO REMOVE WAXES CHEMICALS |
32 Fl. Oz. for $7.99
My question is: Why do I need to buy this stuff in a store where everything is Organically Grown?
