This Coffee Tastes Funny

The organic-only farming crowd rely only on "natural" pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides to produce their crops and many enlightened progressive Americans buy their premium-priced products. One market product that's particularly appealing to the liberal "environmentally-conscious" consumer is coffee and thousands of businesses are profiting from the sale of exotic, organically-grown blends. The organic coffee growers sometimes must be quite innovative in protecting their crops from harm and one example is particularly noteworthy. The natural fungicide preferred by organic coffee growers in Guatemala is fermented urine.

So, the next time you order a $5 cup of that special international blend, it would be prudent to remember how innovative those organic coffee growers can be.
