<a href="http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2006610040332" >'Organic' doesn't mean safer or more nutritious</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>It's a bad moment for believers in the mystical wonders of organic and natural foods. Deadly E. coli bacteria, lurking in spinach from one of the biggest organic farms in America, just killed one woman and hospitalized at least 29 other people with kidney failure. In all, the contaminated spinach sickened nearly 200, in at least 23 states and Canada.<br />n <br />nMeanwhile, several California kids are on kidney dialysis with permanent organ damage from the same virulent strain of E. coli O157: H7 after consuming raw, unpasteurized milk or colostrum from the Organic Pastures Dairy of Fresno, Calif.<br />n<br />nTragically, the victims were all seeking greater food safety and the promised health benefits of vegetables and milk produced the "old-fashioned way."</blockquote><br />n<br />nThe "Good Old Days." Don't you just yearn for them. People need to think, organic isn't intrinsically healthier when it comes to all food. You can blame Factory farms for the E. coli all you want, that doesn't mean it isn't a problem that needs dealt with today. People need to be careful with what they eat. It can keep you alive or kill you if your choices are wrong. Choose wisely.<br />n<br />n<strong>It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver. Mohandas Gandhi</strong>
