Bits Of Dust

This is one of the reasons why I have an issue with some organic foods. Organic means what? It usually means the food was grown without pesticides, artificial fertilizers, human waste, or sewage sludge. It also means they used no radiation or food additives in producing the food.

Where in the definition of “organic” does it mean “unwashed”? If anyone took the time to wash the greens this woman was preparing to eat, that tiny little frog that’s no bigger than the tip of her pinky finger, would have been discovered before it ended up on her plate.

You just don’t want to eat some greens.

That’s how a Brooklyn mom felt when she found a tiny frog comfortably nestled in the leaves of organic lettuce she was preparing to eat.

“I jumped away,” said 39-year-old Yvonne Brechbuhler, who described the green critter as no bigger than the tip of her pinky finger.

I’m all for eating healthy, but I am also for eating clean food.
