Having a late lunch in a restaurant that specializes in organic dishes. I'm having stuffed cabbage, vegetable soup and black rice. Very healthy!
Organic foods (有機農業) are quite popular in Japan. Do you have access to organic foods where you live?

    Organic foods sometimes tastes better, but it's very pricy...

    Over here in Canada, organic foods are pretty common and in demand. There's lots of organic fast food resturants too.

    that looks surprisingly good but why is it that most organic food are vegetarian? is grass-fed beef considered organic food? =P

    Organic/evgan/vegitarian food is extremely accessible in my city. We have many similar cafes that also specialize in all organic foodstuffs. Which is good for me; I'm a dietary Vegan with many food allergies ;3

    Organic food isn't too popular in my immediate area but if you head up north to San Francisco then you'll find more people selling and buying it.

    unpolished rice?~ is that it? lol

    i dun mind brown rice but the way my mum preps it makes it slimeh, she added some nuts and its a generally sweet dish, helps with blood circulation and stuff, ya noe, chinese stuff =o

    organic food costs limbs here, and maybe a few organs. Pretty expansive.

    Most expensive pack of asparagus i bought was like around 10 bucks or more....tasted the same though =P xP
