organically questioning

February 12, 2010

Um. Is there a point at which the amount of packaging begins to negate the organic-ness of the apple? The fruit’s got a belt on it. That’s all I’m saying.

Melissa Camara Wilkins February 12, 2010: I just think there comes a point where stick-on accessories start to hurt a fruit’s organic cred.
Missy Boo February 13, 2010: I’m also thinking the ‘stuff’ in the belt and the adhesive holding it on must be seeping in to kill it’s organic credibility!
Naptimewriting February 13, 2010: Trying so hard to stop laughing. I did stand-up comedy for a while, and the bit that always stuck with me is when a woman was laughing so hard and turned to her friends and said “it’s funny because it’s true.”
The belt, the organic cred…so funny. So true.
(Don’t underestimate the entertainment value of a quick post. If it interests you, I can guarantee it interests us. Or at least makes us laugh. Or at least makes us question the organic cred of our fruit.)
Melissa Camara Wilkins February 14, 2010: We shall all question our fruit together! Or… something.

NW, you did stand-up comedy?! Is there anything you HAVEN’T done?
Kari February 14, 2010: Oh too funny. I have a friend who’s manager of a grocery store and ranted to him about this one day.
His take is that it’s the only way to prevent people from sneaking the organic into the regular apples. I asked why they couldn’t just do a little normal type apple sticker and he said people peel them off. Alrighty then. Belted organic fruit it is
