You might be better off depending on what soil it's grown in.. There's nothing wrong with stevia that I know of other than it's a competitor to sugar but if you want the insulin spike the option is yours.

No it doesn't but you're missing the point and that is the fine line of deception.

As far as the popcorn, I've never seen a reason to feel it unsafe....Except that some of it may be made from genetically altered corn. That part I don’t like.

As for Splenda, I won’t use it…Then again, I don’t use any type of man made sugar. I won’t even use the white sugar that is stripped of it’s nutrients by use of chemicals. I buy organic “brown” sugar; it is actually good for you, in moderate quantity.

I have no sympathy for people who are influenced by advertising. Companies have an obligation to their investors to sell their products. It is not their fault if people are too lazy to find out facts for themselves if they are really concerned about it.

Not some all has been genetically altered.

If your going organic you are definatly on the right track.
I personally also try to make most of my diet organic but that's
not always possible but still I opt for a higher percentage.
There's alot of misunderstanding about organic foods and alot
of people veer away without giving it a ligitimate chance.
Alot of the confusion comes from the cloud the food industry
has created and of course some who try to overprofit from
the gap. I can't speak for the ignorant how willfully destroy
their own body as well as their mental health.

To an extent I agree but they can't prevent labels from being placed on foods of their ingredients such as the USDA Organic Stamp which exclaims the use of the word (no modifiers) "Organic" must have 95% ingredients. There's differen't grades of organic that they can use but they receive a hefty fine if they lie about a product. I personally like to know about where my product comes from and the procedures they use. If they have a bad reputation I want to know about it, there shouldn't be any secretes. I want random testing. If their proud farmers or manufactures they should be proud of their product and it will sell itself. So as far as people not caring what they eat and buying so called thrifty products I think they are very ignorant. Unfortunatly the big monopolies feed on this and try to make decisions for you -- that pisses me off. Luckily society is becoming more intelligent and many are concerned about eating organically.

Well if you don't mind the bags coated with nonstick teflon a genetically modified heavy metal that could be seeping into your food pay no attention. (shrug)
There is information you might want to analize about what dupont corp. is being investigated for.

hmmm, I did forget about that.

Myself, I still make the old fashion way. It is funny how younger people look at you when they see you shaking the pan over the fire and say things like; I've never seen it done that way before.

Our bodies are far more resilient then all the research might suggest. And, no, just because something is natural does not make it good for you.

Not to mention that the majority of synthetic products are based off of organic compounds. I hardly think that all the fear mongering of health nuts (cell phones will kill you, power lines will kill you, microwaves, TVs, computer monitors... logically we should include lightbulbs in that list) lends itself such credibility that I'll jump onto fearing that in large quantities microwave popcorn may contribute to a suspected carcinogen.

You could be right……But I can’t help but wonder why disease’s and other health concerns are on the rise then. I still think it’s the crap that the FDA allows to be placed into our food and water.

Our bodies are resilient, but when they are pounded everyday with chemicals and such, something has to give.

Alright

1.) You can't genetically modify a chemical, it lacks genes.

2.) PFOA lacks heavy metals, it lacks metals for that matter. It is C8HF15O2, with the exception of carbon, those are all gases

I seem to recall, further, that at the temperatures which we are talking about, butter is also dangerous in some studies...

They'll always be pounded with chemicals... without chemicals your body can't live, hell, water, sugar, fat, protein they're all chemicals. Chemical and toxic are not synonomous, neither is synthetic chemical synonymous with toxic.

Medical conditions are on the rise because people are living longer and medicine can catch more things.
