I'm currently eating some vegetables. I have some organic celery and non-organic celery. The organic is not as green, kinda yellow actually, not a huge deal. The non-organic is green. The first thing I noticed when cutting them last night was that the organic was very rubbery, not crisp. Now I tried a taste test between them. A bite of one and a bite of the other. The organic one was chewy and fibery and tasted like batteries. So otherwise like crap. The non-organic tasted.. normal I guess. Maybe the pesticides kill all celery flavor and that's what I'm used to. Maybe the crap the organic one was grown in adds flavor. I'm not sure. But for now I'm sticking with the cheaper non-organic kind. Maybe I'll try a different organic brand. But I'm not sure it's worth the price premium. What's a little pesticide? It's only going to shorten my life, and as Dennis Leary says, It's the worst parts, where your pissing and shitting yourself.
