Jon, you said, "I personally believe if you don't eat organically, cancer is in your future".

And I stopped paying attention.  Not because there isn't a germ of truth in that statement, but because when people make rash generalizations about such things, I figure they have an agenda that is far beyond anything that my small knowledge and experience can contribute to.

My mother-in-law is ninety-four years old.  She lived on the same farm for almost her entire life and to say the farming methods there were NOT organic is perhaps an understatement.  (chemical fertilizers, pesticides, weedkillers, etc.)  Drank from a well on the property, ate mainly vegetables grown on the farm, and mainly meat grown on the farm, and for many years drank raw milk from cows on the farm.  No cancer.  She has four living children, all in their late 50's to mid-60's now.  No cancer.

Now she may live to be 100, so cancer may still be in her future.  And my father-in-law did have cancer, so he might prove your theory.

We should all eat healthier foods than we do.  And we should all make an effort to find out how our food is grown and prepared, if that is possible.  But if we eat in a healthy manner for fifty or forty-nine weeks out of the year, and we relax those standards a bit on vacation, (as most of us probably do), I really wonder how serious that becomes in the grand scheme of things?

I sympathize with you, Jon, that you didn't get a lot of serious information from this group to help in your quest.  It just occurs to me that this group is more into other things than a fine-tuned organic diet.  So, really, you did get an answer to your initial question.  It just wasn't the one you were hoping for.

"I am interested in others attempts to eat organically while canoeing".

It would appear that no one here, except possibly Kerry, makes much of an attempt.
