Actually, my local farmers market sells produce, much of it organic, CHEAPER than the local supermarches.

Gasp...you mean that...CAPITALISM, or the “free market”, as the Repukes refer to it, will win over free-range vegetables? I shudder.

Wonderful!
Now I won't have to endure all the sticker-covered Subarus wandering around aimlessly near the (now closed) Whole Foods market on my way to and from work.

“fair trade coffee”
Can’t imagine paying those prices. For the past year I’ve been drinking vacuum packed Chick-Fil-A dark roast from truck salvage market for $1.47 lb.

This month, the Duke of Edinburgh challenged the benefits of organic farming, one of the Prince of Wales's greatest passions. Daddy slaps down Prince Chuckie!

Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula? I mean, they’re charging a lot of money for this stuff.

arugula?You FR elitists keep tallking about this 'arugula'. What the heck is it? Is it the weed that grows in my backyard, killing my beautiful St.Augustine's grass lawn?

Organic chicken at Asda, for instance, costs £14.49 a kilo, compared with £9.98 for a standard chicken, or £6.89 for Asda's value range chickens.
What the hell? That's like $40 for a chicken.
To: blam
Those suckers pay roughly $7 a pound for the non-organic “value” chicken? Heck, and I thought $1.49 a pound for whole chicken was bad.

My ancestors were eating Arugula (Rugola) back when yours were living in caves and "tending to their sheep." ;-)
You will have to pry the Rugola and Escarole from my COLD DEAD HANDS!!!

Funny to read this, just today I picked up two bottles of fancy-ass store brand organic Italian salad dressing for 75% off in the clearance bin at the local supermarket. It’s good to get cheap marinade!
