I think what you guys call organic is what we call "biologisch" which translates to biological.
Free roaming animals, unsprayed veggies: that sort of thing.
In any case I can see this happening.
I go for "biologisch" food whenever I can. It's a bit more expensive but often the taste is better and you don't polute your body with chemicals. Chemicals you eat over the years are so bad now that Greenpeace figures your dead carcass is an environmental hazard!
So why not act the same when you're out at the ballpark. Makes sense to me! |

Ah, that's why the baseball players have been charged with steroid or hormone use... they were eating the non-organic ballpark hotdogs... Perhaps foods laced with tranquilizers should be served at Basketball games (to the fans, at least)... better yet, tear up the astroturf and grow veggies right there in the stadium on the off-season... If it's an ice rink you could go hydro-ponic... Of course, there is a danger to serving whole vegetables to fans... Not that they may throw them- fans might eat right and be tempted to actually get some exercise themselves, and we can't have that (No self-serve Bread and Circuses allowed) |

It's expensive to buy organic. Does anyone know why food treated w/ LESS of something costs MORE? Is there someone who can break this down & explain the 'logic' of organic math? |

Yes, Maegan, it is more expensive to buy organic things. Which leaves me to wonder how sales of organic hotdogs would actually do at a ball park. Aren't they like $5.00 US each at a sporting event? Ok. I haven't been to the ball park in years now, but from the last time I remember I could have gone to the store, bought a pack of really good hotdogs and buns for the price of one crappy ballpark hotdog.
Organic foods are more expensive because they give lower yields given the same amount of land to grow them in. Organic farmers have to make up for this, so they charge more. Of course, you are getting much healthier food, so it is probably worth it. |

Ahh...I see. I buy organic for the baby. But only if I'm doing a whole-foods sort of thing. Gerber has organic baby food...but it's yucky looking. Also, it doesn't smell like food. |

You don't worry about chemicals in your baby's body Meagan? I have no experience with baby-food and I don't live in the USA. "EKO" labeled food in Holland is really better tasting. Heinz even has a EKO ketchup! |
