Question of the Day - June 29th

[Justbec]

Do you buy organic food?

[Justbec]

Yes, with vegetables but most of our veggies are locally grown and the farms around here are all organic.

I don't buy organic produce... purely cuz of price. there's no reliable evidence that organic has significantly more nutrients than others. not enough to make up for the cost.

EX: I buy those "baby" carrots on a regular basis... I also know they are NOT "baby" carrots. store brand can be under $.90 most times. organic can cost well over $2. I know those "babies" are made from reject/irregular carrots.

now, I do frequent local produce stands, especially during summer. problem is produce isn't necessarily local. here in NJ... The Garden State... any place that says they have locally grown tomatoes before JUly... they have to be from hot-house. same with sweet corn before July. Melons are from further south.

I don't buy "organic" per see. I am very ingredient and product oriented though. I read labels and research the food I buy. So sometimes I will but as a general rule, I am more concerned about the actual basic ingredients than if they are organic or not. Not sure i really trust the organic label

[Deleted]

No if I see them and they look nice I'll buy them. I don't single them out though.
