Hello, Friends,
The word "organic" is going to have to embrace some additional factors, such as how the organic product is handled -- by fragranced or unfragranced persons? Transported/stored in a scented or unscented environment?
Although the answers are obvious, the regulations don't evidence knowledge of these factors. If it's grown properly, then we needn't worry about scent -- and its embedded toxins -- at all?
I made a special trip to the supermarket yesterday to buy organic apples.
Organic apples that, as it turns out, smell of the detergent aisle -- or of an air freshener -- and taste like soap.
The scent is just so fake, so canned . . . so patently un-apple. This is not the "live" smell of a fresh apple having fallen from the tree. I rinsed it in apple cider vinegar and it's just not getting any better. The apple scent has been suppressed, or driven out. It's as if somebody actually sprayed it.
And they call this "organic."
I'm done with this apple.
Off to another supermarket -- hoping for better. Sooner or later I'll chance upon something "organic" whose essential nature has survived.
Cheers -- not for the scented "organic" products we waste our money on -- but for a beautiful day, anyway!
