If buying organic/natural food makes you a good person...?

Question

Does that mean that people who can't afford natural and organic (it's SO much more expensive than regular food) are bad people?

If not, why don't they make the prices affordable to more people?

Answer 1

Actually I'd have to say buying organic food does make you a good person. The pesticides that the companies you buy from are dangerous for the workers and destroys the environment and pollutes nearby water ways.

Just because someone does not buy organic food does not make them a bad person. They are just uneducated. Television has brainwashed us into believing that the inorganic we food we buy is the only way to go.

Organic food is (typically) more expensive because it is 100% food. Not 50% food fillers and 50% food. Not food sprayed with potentially hazaderous chemicals and not genetically modified so harvests are as plentyful.

And worst of all is SUBSIDIZED FARMING. Farmers who grow (unhealthy breeds) of corn sprayed with chemicals lose money but make a profit only by the goverment's subsidized farming practice. Sadly farmer's who do not use potentially hazaderous chemicals and other poor pratices do not get any money from the goverment and this is reflected in the prices.

Answer 2

The cost of making organic foods and their distribution is very high.  I don't think people are bad for buying non organic stuff.  If you want organic, buy a tomato plant and a grow a pear tree or buy a few pots and grow some herbs or just a plant or two for starters.

Answer 3

unah,i don't think that buying regular food makes you a bad person because theres millions of people who buy regular food. Bt i do buy organics once in a while. I think that they should make it more affordable but it costs more to make it organic and its less costly to get regulars' food.

Ooh, i like slash too! and i like the environment! :)

Answer 4

I seen food in the supermarkets marked as organic, because they have a banner or they are in the organic section, but I still can’t find the plastic ones. Leaves me frustrated.
