Organic food is blamed for making you a jerk! Do you agree?

[knowmeyourself]

A new study suggests that organic food might make you a jerk! lol

Check this out: link

I quote: "We found that the organic people judged much harder, compared to the control or comfort-food groups. There’s something about being exposed to organic food that made them feel better about themselves,” Eskine said. “And that made them kind of jerks a little bit, I guess.”

I think it's hilarious.

What do you think about the study?

P.S. This study was published in a scientific journal of Psychology :S

Shit, I've known that for a long time, every vegan/vegetarian/organic person I know has a crappy opinion about most things. Try giving one a potato chip. You'll have to call the manufacturer to find out what else is in it besides all the stuff on the package first. And dear god, if you don't look like you are in a punk rock band, don't ask a hipster out. The ridicule may singe your pubes. I'm trying to make that a saying. Singe your pubes. Since most people don't have them these days. Anyway.

I've eaten organic when I was a kid, we didn't use many chemicals on our vegetables and grew our own. So we pass the FDA guidelines. Probably not the vegan foodie ones, though. I did feel better about myself, because the food was so much better than the crap in the grocery store. But I have never thought I was better than anyone else.

Maybe it's the Midwestern hey-we've-always-picked-our-own-weeds attitude.

Oh! So, you agree with the study? :D

such a parade of science for nothing. there are too many scientist who are idiots. Could it be that vegs are bitter not because of the food they, but because humanity is raping the world and screwing itself with its own hand? i.e. they are already bitter, and try to do something about it by observing a very rigorous diet. no, that's too difficult to consider for those formidable scientists. idiots

I agree with eating organic, if we all do it, maybe we can slow the inevitable end of things. There used to be over 400 types of sweetcorn to choose from for the garden. Now there's twelve. If we all eat organic, we can at least cause big money to start growing more and more that way. We might even save a few bees. But we don't have to be useless erudite windbag hipsters about it.

I don't see how the conclusions are drawn. All they found is that the people exposed to the pictures of organic food volunteered less time. The idea that people felt better about themselves when exposed to pictures of organic food seems to be pulled out of the guy's ass.

[carlo]

exactly, too many people call themselves scientists, but they are just criminals misusing a potent tool for sensationalisms. I would castrate these pseudo scientists if I could

[swimmerchik]

Lol this is so stupid- I eat organicly due to an autoimmune disease and I physicly feel so much better but I am so not judgmental in any area- whoever wrote this obviously knows nothing about the organic lifestyle lol

[Skyler123]

Actually the pesticides that are sprayed on chemically processed food does make those that eat it more docile and...well less smarter. I'll put it like that...less smarter. lol

[swimmerchik]

Haha that explains by problem with public schools...lol

(I'm homeschooled)

Hilarious.

I have noticed this does not just apply to organic food. I notice that many times when someone thinks they have done something good on a regular basis they judge others more harshly.

[WeaponZero]

if eating crappy unhealthy foods made you nicer and a more pleasant person then we Americans wouldn't have such a bad reputation among people of other nationalities for being unbearable jerks.

[knowmeyourself]

:D

[aMuse]

What are the pesticides a form of subtle mind control that makes us more docile? =P

[knowmeyourself]

:D

[Skyler123]

Exactly. Its not that they're being jerks they are just either setting higher goals for them self or just actually THINK for them self.

[aMuse]

lol, uh huh... Gosh all this time me eating vegetables that were not organic... I never thought for myself. who would have thought... Not me of course because I don't think for myself. =P

[Brando]

Well I don't know of any organic foods I've eaten in bulk, yet I'm still a jerk? I think they crunched the numbers on that study a little wrong

[knowmeyourself]

Yeah, it's very funny. :D

I think at least some organic food eaters care about something, not always just their own health. Not eating industrial beef helps the environment (in theory, anyway, since the system is so corrupt). The smiling fatsos stuffing their face with hormone steaks are the real jerks.

[jay6994]

lol it would give me an excuse to act like an a**hole. It's all those goddamn cheetos:D

[knowmeyourself]

=D

[Frunkiss]

Lol if people could just eat organic food and not brag about it constantly they wouldn't be jerks. Unfortunately that is asking too much of people. I don't think I could do it either.

[LexiNinja]

Damn, that explains why I'm such a bitch o.o ok

[Skyler123]

No it's most likely just you...

[LexiNinja]

Ah well then, can't do anything about that then >:D

[irykiryk]

It could be that jerks eat organic food.

[Anonymous]

Sounds pretty bogus to me.

[Anonymous]

Its funny

[Anonymous]
