Besides, I wash everything to death, which used to drive my patchouli-scented roomie nuts. He thought it was discrimination against microbials, but when they get the vote I can feel sorry for them. Until then, nevermind. Don't YOUR aphids float? Ours do. I’ll say it again: free-range, organic-fed protein! Besides, I wash everything to death, which used to drive my patchouli-scented roomie nuts.

Free protein! Would you rather have aphids or insecticides with your broc? A few seconds in hot water and the bugs are gone. The chemicals stay." Um, insecticides. It took about 5 minutes of scalding hot water and scrubbing to make the aphids go away. Not worth it. “Hey! Free protein! Would you rather have aphids or insecticides with your broc?

Not that we'd do that even if we could - no need for *that* hassle. Just hens for eggs and fertilzer for the compost. No meat birds either - that's a whole other subject!

Like Liz, we are seriously into organic gardening. Nothing tastes better than food you grow yourself, and you always know exactly where is came from. Our next project will be a few backyard chickens. We live in an urbanized area too. Now, is it just me, or does anyone else think that seeing “USDA Organic” on processed food is just about the funniest oxymoron to come along in years?

See why I don't eat everything he tells me! Also, be aware that organic food can spoil much quicker than other foods. It's not true for everything, but for some things it sure is. The solution there is organic soups! They’re crunchy and a very good source of low fat protein, according to my friend. See why I don’t eat everything he tells me!

I do know that I will never, ever eat organic broccoli again, though. I picked a couple heads up once at the store because the regular kind wasn't available and only after taking it home, cleaning it in the way one typically does, and popping a few raw pieces into my mouth did I notice that it was absolutely coated in aphids. I do not need aphids in my diet. I don’t really care one way or another, to be honest, which wasn’t an option. I do know that I will never, ever eat organic broccoli again, though.
