I've Studied Studies And Agree.

Tell me, exactly what is it that's in 'organic'? I mean if I had eaten organic, would I have been taller, handsomer, healthier, richer? Would I have become a great athlete? How about a great orator or scientist? Well as it turns out, studies seem to point to a "none of the above" answer. Are you disappointed in this finding? Well don't be. If you wait a year or two, there will be other studies that will assure you that you will be one or all of those above. Or would have been if you hadn't stopped eating organic and thus canceled any chance of ascending to the heights of success. I guess that's the point of my rant today. The scientific community undergoes many studies during the course of each year. And each year many studies reach their conclusions. These conclusions please or displease, encourage or frighten us into doing or not doing or eating or refraining for eating all sorts of products and activities. That's a fact. It's also true that if you don't like a particular finding, you need only wait a year or so for the next report to disparage the first report. Organic foods are good for you except when they're not so good for you. Coffee and eggs are bad for you except when they're good for you. Alcoholic beverages are bad for you but can be good for you. Lots of exercise and staying thin are helpful and will bring you longevity except when they won't make any difference. There have been studies that prove that red meat is bad for you, but apparently is good for your dog and cat. Aren't we carnivores too? There are studies that claim a good night's sleep is the best thing for you. Maybe, unless your house is on fire.  I've just completed a study that has found that paying close attention to studies will provide you with a sense of security and well being except when they do not.
