Mock Organic Cuisine at Your Own Risk

Cracked was the longtime lame competitor to MAD Magazine, one so lame it doesn't even exist anymore in a print edition. Recently, they came out with an argument against organic food that basically categorizes it as an opportunity for people to feel good about themselves. It's such an oversimplification of the issues surrounding food that it's pretty dumb, but it also brings up great points. For instance: do you think you're saving the planet just because you buy something labeled "organic"? Look closely. Most of the products labeled as such actually belong to mega-corporations whose commitment to an eco-lifestyle is a bunch of flapping lips. Forget organic, and buy local from people near you, not from Chile (lay off the Chilean sea bass and virtually any seafood not captured from the Newport Beach dory fleet!)
