"Organic" food.

ALL FOOD IS ORGANIC, DAMN IT!

Stop subverting the actual definition of the word to make it mean your crappy-tasting "healthier" food! >_<

But I see your point.

I'm not all up on the whole "organic food" craze, but when I think about it, the only thing that comes to mind is San Francisco's own insane organic raw food restaurant: Cafe Gratitude.

All the foods, in addition to being organic and raw, are named for affirmations that you HAVE to say or they won't serve you...

For instance: The "I AM SPECIAL AND LOVED" salad. The "I AM A BEAUTIFUL CREATION" Smoothie. (or thereabouts.)
You can't ask for a smoothie and be done with it. You HAVE to ask for the I AM A BEAUTIFUL CREATION Smoothie.

Yeah.

I was taken there once.
It was very, very sweet of the person who took me.
And I went and got a dinner elsewhere afterward.

They contain corn meal, which is organic.

Any carbon compound found inside a living creature is organic. That's what organic means. It doesn't mean "healthier than other food, and therefore worth charging you suckers three times as much."

A dead hyena's asshole is organic. But it's not something you ought to eat.

It's interesting.
But I'm not allowed back after I asked for the "I am dangerously close to slicing a bitch" angus beef burger.

I know, but what about the "cheese" dusting on top that they cooked up in a lab? That's the part I'm uncertain about.

wouldn't the asshole be completly unorganic and impossible to eat?

Well, salt isn't organic either, but popcorn comes with salt on it, it doesn't make the popcorn inorganic.

Yeah... I'll have the "I AM EMBARRASSED AS FUCK" fruit plate with a cup of "I DON'T NEED THIS SHIT" yogurt on the side. Oh... and could I have a cup of "I DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK WHAT YOU CALL IT*" coffee with that?

...and, if I lived out there, I would *SO* get everyone calling that restaurant "Café Gratuity"!

* Actually, that's pretty much how I order my coffee if I should, in desperation, find myself in a Starbuck's: "I don't CARE what your boss wants me to call it -- I want a frickin' LARGE CUP OF COFFEE!"

My old boss used to make me run to Starbucks for him on occasion. (He'd give me a $20 so I could get something for myself, too.) I simply flat-out refused to use their ordering system, instead using "small," "medium," and "large." And they filled my order fine every single time.

i had a freind who's family owned a cattle ranch, he once told me that the only difference between Organic and regular beef was that Organic beef is fed hey, not feed.
