We could never detect dioxin up to several years ago - Dr Mao is slightly mao-maoing over nothing - my god - every time you strike a match there is now detectable dioxion - we never knew it was there before. Give us a break with some of this silly nonsense.

THE SECRET TO SELF HEALING IS AVOIDING THE DRIVLE PROPAGATED BY DR. MAO AND OTHERS LIKE HIM. DON'T STRESS OVER WHETHER U CAN AFFORD ORGANIC, ITS NOT ANY BETTER FOR U THAN CONVENTIONALLY PRODUCED FOODS.

The other day I was at the mall, and I saw organic jeans- jeans made from organic cotton. I agree with organic food, but organic clothing is going overboard.

I've been buying only Organic for a year now. there is a difference in the taste of the food. I have a Organic Meat Shop...& the meat is so tasty. I know that it is hard for some people to even find it in the grocery stores. But living here in CA....there are so many health food stores. The world as a whole would be so much better off if it was avalilable to everyone.Costco sells some organic...c hicken & beef...& other products.

Well, I guess if someone puts forth 1/10% effort of what was in the article, it would be an improvement! The best way to keep your good health is to smile and laugh with your family and friends, and get your butt off the recliner!

We could never hear enough information regarding ways to protect ourselves and the planet. Thank you! Please allow the public to know more information regarding common household items to use rather than the chemicals the media pushes the public to use instead.

It was good to a point. Total Green would be going to www.shaklee.net/beardistributing and checking out the Get Clean line.

The comment on plastics and dioxin are scientific incorrect and unfounded. Purely here say. It is the articles like this promoting "green activist" blindly following blind. I think it is unfortunate he got famous! and can therefore mislead allot of people.

I can not speak to the accuracy of all that Dr. Mao wrote, but as to his assertion "conventional meat, poultry and dairy products contain high amounts of pesticides, hormones, and antibiotic drugs." his statement is just wrong. As a veterinarian with expertise in food producing animals, I state this will conviction. All milk and beef is tested and found to be free of antibiotics with routine tests that can detect drugs at levels as small as one part per trillion. Modern pesticides ( at least in the US) are biodegradable and all evidence shows they do not appear in our meat and milk supply. You could make an argument that rBST appears in milk, but natural BST (growth hormone) is there as well, and as a protein they are both degraded into the natural amino acids by our stomach acids. Finally, "organic" is actually less healthy for the cattle themselves. Many "organic" cows are nearly starved due to lack of adequate carbohydrates and protein in the winter months, and if they happen to get sick they may die from a curable disease ( they can't have antibiotics or they wouldn't be "organic") Give me "conventional" milk and meat over "organic" anyday. The cows deserve it.

"Could Going Green Help You LIve to 100?" No. But apparently people will believe anything. What a load of B.S. Before this golden age, where we have plastics, people had a much shorter lifespan and infant mortality was very high. Wake up Baby Boomers - enjoy life. You are actually going to die someday. And Dr. Organic whatever can't stop that.
