Starting a New Business

I'm the local salsa expert(see my previous bitching in the pet peeve thread for reference) so send me the first batches.

And apparently I'm also at the top list for people that screw up a batch and don't want to waste it because a couple nights ago this girl I barely know drove across town to bring over a container of salsa that she made....out of tomato sauce and jalapenos. As she handed it to me she said she usually uses fresh tomatoes and sichuan peppers, but she was all out. I'm pretty sure she was being nice, but I considered it the equivalent of dropping a bag of turds off at my house. It was nasty.

To charge the organic crowd a bunch of extra money for basically the same product with a different label. You know, capitalism.









I wonder how many people think I meant that negatively?

Haha you know I did.
I believe healthy people only eat 'real' food, not man-made crap.
This includes GMO, and pesticide ridden fruits and veggies.

Studies show this, and studies show that.
The fact is that people who eat all organic food are thin/healthy/vibrant people, whereas people who eat TV dinners and McDonalds are fat/lazy/tired people.

Have you had a bag of turds dropped off at your house that you tasted?

What a dichotomy.

How about people who eat neither organic food nor TV dinners and Mcdonals? The one who eat primary fruits and vegetables, etc., without regard for the organicity? Do you think they are not just as healthy/vibrant/thin? Why?

I am living proof that it is not always that way. I eat fast food all the time. I rarely eat salads or other healthy food. No thanks. Give me that double loaded burger witht he large fries and soda. Yes I want that extra fry sauce and double cheese on my burger.

I am 15 pounds under my desired BMI, low cholesterol and blood pressure. Fit as a fiddle.

Two reasons:

1) organic food simply tastes better
2) you could get away easier by selling a jar of salsa at a more expensive price, seeing as I'm guessing it'll be hard for you to compete with lower-priced salsa from the get-go.


Of course, I'm speaking with the perspective of an Edmontonian, where the standard of
Living is quite high, and I don't know how highly demand organic stuff is down in Utah. Still, if I'm paying 6 dollars (just guessing here) for a jar of salsa, it would be more palatable for it to be organic. Plus, it'd taste better :)


Just my $0.02. Im sure you'd know about this sort
Of stuff much more than I would.

Tell you what. I'll make a small batch of organic and send you some of both. I bet you can't tell the difference.

I'd love to. Make it a single blind, send it label-free with one that has a green lid, and one that has a red lid or something.

Regardless, keep your options open, and I'd suggest that you experiment with using organic ingredients. If you find that it makes no difference, then power to ya. I just find that organic tomato sauce has historically tasted much better than non-organic ones I buy at the store. But who knows, maybe that's attributed to the manufacturing methods. Eggs, fruits, chicken and beef all show this same patten, to me at least. Could all be placebo, but I'd bet against it

You've never had "La Puente"?

Wow, you can't be serious? I love me some La Pooper, but to say that their salsa is even in the same ball park of hot is simply asinine.

Lol!
This may have been the greatest comment of your entire message boarding career.

You must be new here.

OK, when I've got it ready I'll let you all know.

Marcus, I believe that PKM and I have requested that you make the hottest batch imaginable. And we all say thank you.

Obviously eating primarily fruits and veggies at all, is better than eating a sickening double cheese at Mickie D's.
Now obviously I can't always afford to eat all organic either.
I definitely believe that a person that only eats organic produce, (or better yet, produce that they grow themselves) is probably one of the healthiest people around.
Why wouldn't you avoid pesticides that kill other living things, and accumulate in your body if you can avoid it?

Some poisons affect everything, some poisions only affect certain types of beings. Every spider produces venom, but the venom in most spiders don't affect humans.

Also, suffcient poison to kil a 1 oz bug often doesn't affect a 50-250 lb mammal at all. Dosage is an important aspect of poison.

You're addressing natural poisons created by animals, and yes dosage would be important there.

As far as man-made chemicals, (which is what pesticides and GMO foods have in them) have a cumulative effect on the body and mind.
Especially when you start messing with the genes of living things, and that's exeactly what they're doing with GMO foods.
DNA swapping of living organisms, and ingesting those organisms can't be good for the body long term.

To me, it seems like they're playing a science experiment with the masses to see what would happen in the event that DNA changes happen in our food, and minerals are slowly lessened over time.
