    But I thought ‘organic’ produce was the magic, ultra safe produce that makes you super healthy and live forever? No, sorry, it’s just very expensive, and it spoils faster.

      If your organic produce is spoiling quicker it’s probably because it’s not being grown locally and has spent more time in transit than the regular produce; spraying pesticides or using synthetic fertilizer doesn’t really add any preservative properties.

      Organic or regular produce from the farmer’s market will beat anything in a supermarket. Alas, it’s a fucking pain in the ass to get to one here and it’s not the cheapest.

        Fun fact: organic growers use pesticides. And the food is no healthier.
