you get what you pay for, to be sure. organic food casts more for a few reasons, but not b/c of any conspiracy. why does it cost more? the crops cost more bcuz w/out pesticides a lot more spoils, and bcuz the 'lack' of pesticides effectuates a shorter shelf-life. what are the organic farmers supposed to do, just GIVE that shiznit away? IF more ppl bought organic, the price would come down. Supply and demand. That's what it's all about. to say tat grocery stores are "participaters in classism" is a bit of a stretch. maybe the help at those stores just sucks. how about that for an explanation?
ppl should have a lil more class w/ what they donate, granted.
