Holy Shit! Actually found super cheap ecological carrots today, got home and juiced a bag. And I cannot believe the taste! I always thought it tasted too bitter while drinking carrot juice (non ecological, that is) like there were chemicals in it and I was right! The taste of ecological carrots is COMPLETELY different! It's sweet with no chemical bitter taste at all! NOW I get it! WOW! It tastes like when I was a kid!
It gets me wondering though.. What the hell are all these chemicals doing to us when just the taste is SO different? That cant be good.
And yes, I knew about it but actually tasting the diference myself is another thing. Now I GET it.
Hmm, found this:

This site says we dont get away from chemicals even in ecological food. I guess the elite must have clean food pushers.
