FruitaBu asked:

You probably have seen the green and white USDA Organic symbol on foods at your grocery store. What do you expect from products that bear this label? And do you view companies that make such products differently from others?

Hope C asked:

All of the books I have read, say that you MUST use certified seed potatoes. Is there any reason I shouldn’t seed out some of the organic fingerling potatoes I already have? I can understand not using regular storebought potatoes, but shouldn’t organic be okay? Same question about sweet potatoes. Any tips or advice will be appreciated!

I’m not a strict vegetarian or health conscious person. But thesedays, if there were organic products and regular products, I’d choose to buy organic products believing its gonna do something good for my health. Are there any real difference in organic food and others? Like let’s say I have this organic pasta. How good is it for me than eating regular pasta?

strzelecki1 asked:

I’ve read that for some health conditions I have it would help if I started an organic diet. I know Whole Foods has organic food, but I’m not sure how to start this.

Do you do it gradually?

Are there organic versions of all kinds of foods?

Is it really easier on your liver?

Do you have to cook everything from scratch?

Are there any organic food restaurants in Chicago?

Has anyone switched over and have advice for a newbie?

moshugp asked:

For instance, we all know that you cannot label something as “organic” without it being certified. My question is this…can a product have a normal line and an organic line that both conisist of organic ingredients? More specifically, can normal PAM contain organic ingredients without being labeled as organic? The purpose of doing so would be to steer customers towards the SAME product that has the organic label for a few more dollars.

angel_fish1791 asked:

My tomatoes are doing great but a spider mite infestation has developed. I like to keep things organic and I’m having trouble getting information on ways to deter spider mites on tomatoes. I’ve heard that diatomaceous earth or salt water work through severe dehydration of the insects, will this also cause the tomatoes to shrivel and dehydrate? Does garlic water work well against spider mites?

Tiff B asked:

I’ve noticed in stores, more organic products. Well, I caught a glimps of a box that said organic tampons. What makes them organic and do they work better than regular tampax?

Are they bio-degradable and earth friendly?
If you use them, does it make you more green?

I’m all about being green and am even a vegitarian, do you recommend ways to become more green and natural?
