My wife, who has been having some medical problems, has had all kinds of
advice on diet that is supposed to help her problems. A major one has
been "organic foods."
We have been trying everything from the stores that promote organic
food, said to be superior to non-organic foods. These organic foods are
not supposed to have unnatural additives, or if animal products, the
animals are not raised with unhealthful hormones. And then, too, there's
a higher price, which makes me wonder if this, perhaps, is not the real
push to sell organic.
This got me to thinking about alcoholic drinkers who might be interested
in a healthier drink. How about organic booze? Back in the old days the
Kentucky mountain-men gave us the most natural booze you could imagine--
alcohol produced on home-built stills that gave us home-grown, natural,
organic booze. They used naturally grown corn and other grains.
Here's a thought to the alcohol producers of America. How about organic
booze? Can't you see it on the shelves of food stores selling other
organic products?
No? Well, maybe not.

P.S. . . . I'm wrong again! Grant Metcalf has found
http://www.theorganicwinecompany.com It says there are no
"side-effects" if you drink "sensibly." Please, no letters. This
is not an endorsement. My blog was intended to be a joke--particularly
after you read my upcoming essay on April 10 called, "More Holy
Confusion" on organic diets. -- Andy Bustanoby
