Great if you eat mountains of vegetables, but organic food has more nutrients, so you're better off eating organic.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But I wouldn't shun the earplugs all that yet. Nutrition is important, but why not include earplugs as well to double-up on safety against loud noises (if you are unfortunate enough to be around them all the time)? I think it's a great idea still.&lt;br&gt; &lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=93060" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
