i have always maintained there is no such thing as TRUE organic for this reason as things in the soil as well as rain and water cannot eliminate all things...organic standards are ...no pesticides or chemical growth enhancements be used...THREE MONTHS before harvesting...thats not enough...

better than some instances but NOT ENOUGH...organic is the better way to go but NOT the perfect solution by anymeans...and to think organic is SAFE noooo its not...just safer by a bit.

i dont often eat rice and for carb reasons NO white rice...i will on rare occasions have some long grain rice or wild rice but not very often at all and certainly not more than a cup anyway...

none of our foods are PURE ...EVERYTHING is in one way or another contaminated and you cant stop eating.
