It’s Organic.........
Everything is so huge in here (USA).I was hugely surprised to walk into a 'shop' selling vegetables and see all the onions the size of a watermelon and all small watermelon in the size of huge watermelons. Though I thought it is twice the worth of the money spent on the same, there is always a costlier section on the same vegetable with title "organic" on it, making you feel guilty of eating the inorganic ones.
Even squirrels are not puny here, are they inorganic?
Even milk is either organic or not organic here, though it comes from an organic cow.
So essentially, any living or formally living and presently edible things are either organic and small or inorganic and huge.
I feel being identified with an "organic" status to an already organic material, as a pathetic result of population expansion and development of technology to keep up with the population. But the irony is, India is a more populous country than USA, then I am not able to get, why the organic matters are more organic in India than here. I am not arguing that India does not use pesticides and other damaging cides in its agriculture but matter of factly , the organic materials there are what is specifically available here as "organic".
Even a simple cabbage tastes different here than there. So anyone learning cooking here with traditional recipes should be aware of that and be happy that the taste of the food they make is not entirely due to them, its due to the organics and inorganics of the vegetables here. Well, in any case that is the consolation I give to myself.
The other day I saw a movie in which a person smokes "an organic cigarette", well I will believe that when said two times too. It’s possible they might even get “organic water it’s really possible or is it already there?
But I think you should not have an organic air, in that case it becomes toxic.
So essentially, that conveys that, all organic things are not too good.
But even after all these ramblings about organic, only one thing strikes me strange and ironical, when nature began its course without human intervention, every plant and animal was organic, when man multiplied, the plant part of the equation , or more so , even the animal term of the equation dwindled but man needs them for his uninterrupted rule of the world, so he multiplied them inorganically and found out that its bad for him, so he demarcated some of the things he needs as organic and it comes with a price tag for the humans who can afford it. So eventually, human population should gradually dwindle due to the bad effects of inorganic things but I don’t see that in the near future, so essentially that means either you eat organic or inorganic you survive. The trouble is for the future generations. I am curious how they handle it.
Probably we should redefine chemistry and biology regarding the carbon compounds.

food being organic or inorganic doesnt matter as long as it tastes good..
Maybe that link explains the cost?

probably u should've also added some "inorganic" pics of the inorganics mentioned in the post ;)
Believe u wud do a good job @ cooking - aunty and younger sis' wud've taught u something, though its difficult ;-)
good one, as usual a kavi-istic analysis of things around u :)
- an organic comment :)
Well while i reading i was expecting at the end u would add some thing about the frozen stuffsss....
I have heard that it is one "USA's" ways of marketing , exploiting people's belief and their willingness to spend on something "said-to-be" better than the other. Everything marked organic need not be so, we have to read the covers carefully to find the nuance.
"NO to organic air , because they would become toxic"- exceptional OOB thinking.
