Vegan/Organic Produce

[Guest guest]

Sometimes I wonder how Vegan Organic Produce would be. I went to Farmer's

market last weekend and confirmed that produce was grown with cow, chicken,

and horse manure. I try to avoid pesticides, but I don't want ecoli either.

I don't feel good about eating something grown in another animals feces. I

have been thinking of doing the transition, but cannot bring myself to pay

more for possibly contracting a disease. Would there be any produce grown

without the use of pesticides or manures? If so, is there a name for this?

 

I try to grow my own fruits and vegies, but the birds eat alot of it and

they ripen and fall to the ground. I need fresh produce year round. If I

were to eat only my produce, I would starve. I'm not that good of a

gardener, but I am trying. I live in Southern California about 50 miles

from the ocean. It's almost desert here. I even heard my favorite dates

grown not far from here with have some kind of spray on them. I was

disappointed. I would love to be a better gardener, so I wouldn't have to

be so dependant on people who grow with pesticides and manure. Thanks in

advance for your reply. Maureen

Okay, my opinion, for what it is worth, probably only the

paper it isn't printed on :-).

I have to eat to survive. I live on plant foods. The

animals whose manure is generally used for fertilizer also

live on plant foods. I am sorry if using this fertilizer is

considered abuse of animals, but again, I have to eat to

live.

 

Regarding the ecoli concern, I carefully wash everything.
