Organicism

Disclaimer: I understand how there is a connection with eating healthy obviously leads to better health.

"Organic Foods" are foods created or grown without any pesticides, hormones, special additives or etc. They are said to not only be great for the body, because of the natural nutrients, but tastes better as well. The reason why I am blogging about this topic is the popularity organic foods hold. It seems whenever any of my friends discover "eating right is RIGHT!" They quickly begin to preach and try to convert me to the organic-ism life they've chosen.

It's almost seems like a trend. Once people have seen the hottest celebrity shopping at a farmer's market or "whole foods" time store; it becomes "the way". I think the common person understands what is healthy, eat their fruits and vegetables and try to follow the infamous food pyramid with the occasional slip of a fast food drive thru visit. For example i have a friend who is not in the best shape, he has even admitted he needs to lose all his weight. But, he also brags the fact that he's lived an organic life for 2 years. He'll ask people what they had to eat for dinner, and follow with his long drawn out explanation on how pesticides are in everyone's vegetables and he had an all natural dinner with produce from Whole Foods... and mid-snack organic oatmeal. Maybe its not my place to "judge" his judgement. But there have been numerous occasions where a person force "feeds" the idea of an organic life down people's throats.
