organic bones

If Ann001's post deserves the "Best GTO question this year award" (and I wouldn't disagree), then datgnat's response surely deserves the Best GTO Answer award. What an intelligent and thoughtful post! As near as I can tell, datgnat's information seems correct, and his (or her?) reasoning strikes me as sound. Like datgnat, I can't be sure that his/her conclusion is 100% valid, but you can count me persuaded.

In a similar organic vein, my wife has always contended that the fruits and vegetables available at the local mercados are likely to be organic or nearly so. Her reasoning is similar to datgnat's: the local harvesters of fruit and veg are small-time operations, unlikely to be spending many pesos on fertilizers and pesticides and so on. (This may or may not apply to the produce one finds at the big supermarkets.) If she's correct, which would be my bet, then the recent influx of high-rolling, gentrifying gabachos who trek once a week to the fancy organic shops in San Miguel are wasting their money.
