Organic or bust

So what's the deal with all the hype over organic foods? I really don't get it. First, animals (such as cows) have completely different digestive properties then humans, meaning that just because a cow has bovine (and the meaning of bovine is basically the category for the cattle family) growth hormone or whatever doesn't mean our bodies react to it. That being said, imagine if we as humans could actually absorb and process bovine growth hormone...we would be HUGE! duh. And why are people so concerned about their veggies and fruits? Just wash your food before you eat it! Or how about you start your own garden and save yourself a buttload of money. Honestly I think the whole organic thing is just a ploy to rip people off. Those are my thoughts on the organic conspiracy, sorry if I offend anyone, but this is my way of letting go of my little "tiffs" in life. And quite frankly until someone gives me some good, solid evidence from numerous studies advocating organicness (I don't think that's a word, but I kinda like it), I'm not gonna do it. Take it or leave it.
