You heard the President: “America is addicted to oil, which is often imported from unstable parts of the world,” he said it, really he did, in the State of the Union.
Bu-Oh-My-Goodness; Texas Oilman Bush says we use too much oil? oh dear oh dear . . . how much worse must it be than we thought? Well here’s a thought about how to use less oil: Eat Organic. 
That’s right, buy all that weird “organic” and “certified organic” food that has been showing up in the regular markets, not just the specialty stores. Why? Ordinary food uses tons upon tons of petroleum products for bug poisons, weed poisons and fertilizer. Organic does not. Cutting out the use of petroleum based farm products would go a long way to weening us from foreign oil.
Organic food is good in many other ways, but this is an easy one. Turns out all us treehuggers were actually just being patriotic all along! (More about the other benefits next post.)
