Recently, I've been eating more organic products. I know, I know. I'm Mr. Processed Food. But recently while on a trip to the supermarket with my wife Ramona, I was in the frozen food section reaching for my Lean Pockets when Ramona stopped me and -- with pleading eyes -- implored me to at least take a look at the organic frozen products nearby.
So I agreed to at least take a look...
...and 10 minutes later, we were at the cash register with $65 worth of frozen organic food products.
To soften the blow, Ramona handed me $5.
Marriage. :-)
But needless to say, in recent weeks I've been consuming more organic products. Frozen organic pizza. Frozen organic burritos. Frozen organic enchiladas. I haven't had a lean pocket in four months. I'm waiting for one of those "120 day" chips.
So imagine my surprise when I recently came home for the supermarket, showed my wife my recent purchase of organic stuff, and saw a look of disappointment on my face.
"What's wrong?" I asked. "It's all organic."
"Yeah," she replied, but it's not the best kind of organic."
Best kind of organic?
Hold the phone. Since when are there different levels of organic? It's bad enough that I'm spending three times as much to eat more organically, but now I'm being lectured for not buying the right kind of expensive organic products? When I come home with a bagful of organic products -- when I, Nevin Scott Barich, lover of any and all preservatives, buy organic stuff -- I expect heaping amounts of praise! I don't expect...
...not the best kind of organic.
Here's my take: I haven't eaten a lean pocket since the middle of baseball season. Every day for lunch at work, I make myself organic burritos and my coworkers give me their "how long will this last? glances. I can no longer take advantage of 33-cent frozen food sales. With all of that, don't I deserve unlimited, "Nev, you're so amazing for eating more organically" praise? Do I really need to be given a "right kind of organic" lecture?
It makes a man want to fall off the lean pocket bandwagon.
:-)
And now for this week's:

So it seems that you only eat organic "Crap" food and not real Organic Food. Perhaps you should ask the wife to cook you a real meal. Try dragging her through the produce isle for a change. If your only eating frozen food, your missing the point.
