Organic...it just makes sense

The other day a boy that I work with had an allergic reaction to a banana.  Having heard from other people that sometimes fruit allergies are from the pesticides that are sprayed on the fruit instead of the fruit itself I asked him if he ever ate organic bananas?  His response was..."What does organic mean?"  Coming from California; the land of organic obsessed, health-crazed hippies, I was really surprised by this question.  I briefly explained that organic was a term used for food that is grown without the use of any chemicals.  His response was, "Shouldn't all food be grown like that?"

Well, yes...yes, it should.  When you put it simply like that it is really a no-brainer.
