I'll have to remember that one!
On a hiking trip, I saw a guy pouring out his bottled water and filling it up with creek water. When asked why he would do this, he said he wanted "fresh clean natural water, not something processed in some plant." When I pointed out the dead fish in the water and the possibility of other contaminants, he had a "deer in the headlights" look. Some people have blinders on when it comes to things like this. Another example of blindly jumping on a bandwagon is the time I walked by a PETA booth at college and was heckled for my leather back-pack. I kindly pointed out the leather shoes the PETA member was wearing, smiled, and kept walking.
I do agree that farm-fresh items are great to buy, but I won't go broke buying everything with "organic" on the label.
Sorry for hijacking the thread.....
