1. Got dirt? Plant your own.
   
I have a feeling home gardening is going to be more and more popular as food prices go insane.

2. Lordy. It's been 10 years since I've splurged on one of their juices and I think I stopped cold when they got to three bucks for pear nectar.

People with kids are just going to have to mix the good stuff with seltzer water and hope the kids think they're drinking soda.

3. I love how they name those juices....yours has more apple juice than either blueberry or pomegranate stuff I buy, similarly labeled, is mostly pear juice

9. Saw a $4 can of beans last night in the supermarket.
   
12 oz can of "organic" black beans for $3.99. Sure, this is New York, but I still wanted to punch someone.

Finally, a primitive who makes sense:

11. Water is a good drink.

You know, I've never been fond of this primitive preference for certain special foods, given that (a) the primitives allege to be globally conscious and (b) many people on this globe go to sleep at night hungry.

It seems selfishly decadent to me.

More money going toward juice means less money for pot. I can see their dilemma.

And the primitives are more likely to give up the "healthy" "organic" juice than the dope.

They whore around, have perverted sex and do drugs. It's no wonder they worry about their health so much. .......and DUmmies, some funky fruit juice isn't a cure all.

What is "semi-organic"? Does it mean one side of the plant/bush/tree is fertilized with chemical fertilizer while the other side is fertilized with turds?

Another question, what if the animal whose turds are used as fertilizer has been fed with feed containing chemicals? Does that make the animal's turds no longer "organic"?

Those are some shitty questions you got there.
