I eat one banana a day.

I was skeptical about organic food until I mistakenly purchased organic grown bananas. I immediately knew the taste was superior. It reminded me of eating bananas as a child 60 years ago. At least for banana’s I’m willing to pay extra.

Organic bananas do taste better.

I like organic bananas and strawberries for the very reason you stated. The flavor seems much like it was 50+ years ago (for me). Way way better than the regular fruits. For that difference, I’m willing to pay the higher prices on these items.

The irony is that often the organic bananas are the same price as the regular, more often little more than 10 cents/pound higher otherwise.

I try to purchase local organic, but price/availability preclude that most seasons.

The local Farmer’s Market at one time was a reasonable choice, but has degraded to a rip-off, catering primarily to local elites and the hippie vegan community.

The other irony is that despite organic/non-gmo, browsing such markets gives one keen insight to the unhealthy nature of veganism, an observation impossible to ignore (at least in our state).

Substitute an evening snack for a small banana to make it 2/day. Your gut will thank you for it (you’ll notice, too).
