if it really a better quality product, then the price is justified.
if its the same quality product, only grown "organic" your getting ripped off.
I personally dislike the term "organic".
it is to easy to bend.
it should be "chemical free" or the like.
if you can see and taste the difference for your money, your getting a deal.
if it looks and tastes like store bought chemo-genetic-factory farmed and stamped/priced organic, then your getting hosed.
its up to the consumer to judge.
however I could grow stuff on total chemicals and pesticided, stamp organic on it and MOST buyers would OOOOO and AHHHHH at how better it is cuz of that label.
the collective ignorance of the consumer base drives the "fad".
Ive been buying organicfood for YEARS... so has my mom and my grandmother.
its called a neighborhood farmers market, where we know they sellers and know their farms.
it isnt new. its just a new marketing scam.
pay more for better quality, not just because the label sez "organic".
my worn out odor-eaters are organic... its a broad term.
