Blog #6 / Organic

The question what is organic ? has a multitude of possible answers. In chapter nine of " The Omnivore's Dilemma Pollan has quiet a lot to say about 'organic'. He says " On a recent visit I filled my cart with eggs " from cage-free vegetarian hens," milk from cows that live " free from unnecessary fear and distress," wild salmon caught by Native Americans in Yakutat, Alaska (population 833) and heirloom tomatoes from Capay farm, "one of the early pioneers of the organic movement." (135) Based on what I have read and previous knowledge on 'organic' I believe it's just a 'healthier' way of eating the food you already eat. The food isn't grown in unsanitary places, it's taken proper care of. The animals do not live under harsh conditions and have a nice life. Hey if you think about it organic food sounds like a topothesia to me.
