Organic Food Industry Invades Hospitals

This story looks like a puff piece for the organic food industry and a public relations story for Kaiser. In my opinion, the organic food industry only stays afloat because it caters to the mistrust that aging hippies have for introducing technology into the agriculture industry. All those additives and pesticides have to be bad for you, right? And don't even think about genetically modified crops, which is a bogus argument anyway, since humans domestically tamed all the food that we eat anyway through husbandry and grafting practices. Meanwhile, millions starve in Africa because the UN doesn't want that GM Frankencrop causing unproven mutations in people, or hurting indegenous insect species when they try to eat it, when the real reason is to politically stick it to the United States as an aid giver. As to the hospitals, as long as it's cheaper for them, let them serve it. We all know they need the budget help since they can't afford nurses, doctors, and trauma centers. Just don't ask them why they can't afford it: the answer might be politically incorrect. Uninsured patients doesn't mean the same thing in spanish, oops, did I say that out loud?
