From now on, I eat nothing but organically grown, pesticide free, humanely raised, humanely killed, dirt.

Maybe some gravel for a snack, but that's it.

Imported anything is not good, organic or otherwise because of the cost of transporting it here. My thoughts: Buy local organic, or local others, and wash real good with a "veggie bath" of castille soap, water, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Or you can buy a veggie wash in the bottle. And, what's wrong with buying fruit and veggies in season? Who says we HAVE to have strawberries in October, or butternut squash in July? Just sayin...

Excellent name for a band, dude, "Try the Crunchy Frog" ... their first album? The landmark success, "Lightly Killed" ... rock on.

My favorite album title is by the fictional Metal sensation Spinal Tap: Smell the Glove, though just about any line from Monty Python would be good as well.
