Observation of the Day!
Allison Evanow created one of the nation's first entirely organic spirits, Square One vodka. “But that whole organic kitchen philosophy hadn't really ever gotten to the bar. Once I had the idea in my head and did a little bit of research, I finally said, 'This looks like it's an unmet need.'”
So far, the market has agreed. At least three hotel chains – Marriott, Ritz-Carlton and Kimpton Hotels – now carry organic beverages in their bars. Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay offers Square One cocktails at his newest restaurant.
To be certified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as an organic alcohol, the spirit must be made of ingredients grown on certified organic farms and processed in a certified organic distillery. That means no pesticides and fertilizers on the grains and no nitrogen or other chemicals in the distilling process.
Now I have heard everything. What will we think of next. Anyone who drinks this vodka is an absolute phony from the yuppie era. But of course I am not one of the beautiful people. Clean organic vodka rotting your stomach and sirousing your liver. Organic vodka seems like an oxymoron to me.
Another story I read this week, told of a mother's dilema about her son venturing out in the world to kindergarten. She said that she had always given her son organic foods, kept him away from fast foods and used organic household cleaners etc. She was appalled that her son had ventured into a world of school lunches that were not organic, fast foods and tables that were cleaned with bleach, as well as other harmful activities, like chalk dust. What world does this woman come from? This generation is determined to a life for their chidren in which there is no risk. I feel sorry for the kid. How did we ever make it to this stage of our life?
Dare I say Bullshit!
Have a nuce day!
