I'm not convinced that the "organic is expensive and conventional is
cheap" line of reasoning holds completely.
Consider an absolutely scrumptious organic navel orange at $1.00/lb
(they're 79 cents locally). Three oranges to the pound --- easily 3.5
ounces of inside goodies for 33 cents. Tasty, nourishing, pure, and
natural --- probably helps support an organic family farm in
California.
Compare that to an orange Popsicle -- 3.5 ounces of colored, flavored,
water, sweetend with what is probably GMO-corn syrup. Is it food? Whom
does it support?
So which one is expensive, and why in light of that obvious answer do
people persist in calling *organic* food elitist ??
