home grown organic stupid

[Jak_O_Lantern]

So this doesn't really involve me, but it happened at my register.
This lady comes up to my register and I start scanning her groceries, she has a lot of organic groceries (hey it's your money not mine) and she strikes up a conversation with the lady behind her, which is where we pick up on tonight's broadcast.

OL: Organic Lady
CL: Customer Lady
Me: in the background
CL: So you by organic when ever you can?
OL: Yep, non-organic food causes cancer...

OL: ...and AIDS.
CL: *looks at me*
Me:

OK lady, I can, maybe, wrap my head around the cancer thing despite the fact that more evidence is proving there to be no significant difference, but AIDS? AIDS? WTF MATE!?

[Saydrah]

I'm big on organic foods for me and my pets, too, when possible, but the only way I can think that conventional foods would cause AIDS is if you shared dirty needles with the guy who sprays the pesticides...

We had one lady who refused to buy our organic produce because it came on the same truck as the non organic stuff.

AIDS!! I wonder where she gets her information from.

I work in produce, and the only big thing between organic and regular produce, is that the organic stuff is grown in fertilizer that hasn't been treated with chemicals, or sprayed with artificial chemicals. They still get treated with pesticides, but not the kind you get from your local hardware store or nursery.
