| 1394882 | 2015-02-25 08:58:00 | Its not about taste . I buy organic eggs, free range. I dont support cruelty to farm animals , so I spend that extra $2. I also dont want to eat all the hormones & drugs(yes) feed to chickens Local council had to stop using chicken poop in its composting scheme, as the poop had so much antibiotics it was killing the composting process. So yes , farm animals are feed hormones & drugs. Give the choice, Id rather not eat them I buy organic apples, when the supermarket has them, just so I dont have to eat all the pestisides on them. There have been plenty of instances (NZ) where tested fruit & veg have been over the max allowable residual levels for pestisides & herbicides x2 But I have noticed that for example, organic broccoli tastes a lot better. |

We've got a group of families together and we get stuff direct from Ceres. Saves a lot of money instead of buying the same things from the supermarket. We also grow a lot of our own veges and anything else is usually bought at the local markets on Saturday mornings. |
