The left mostly destroys the left. They don’t care ..they keep their job.

Consider: Organic strawberries have more than tripled in price, increasing by 224.4%, while conventional ones have seen a more measured (though not insignificant) price hike of 22.6%. And organic vine-ripe tomatoes have doubled in price, while conventional ones have gone up by 18.6%.


life is full of choices.........................

Organics may be out of fashion, like beatle haircuts.

Going “green” or “organic” is simply not sustainable. Well, it isn’t for 8 billion people, but it might be for 500 million people.

Virtue signaling is always expensive.

Watch as the cost of “carbon credits” soars.

Organic requires more work. Just in paperwork organic requires about 200% more work. Probably more now.

Anything that requires more work is going to go up in price because people are expensive.

I’m just a backyard gardener, certainly no farmer. So I have to wonder why organic fruits and veggies are more expensive since they don’t have to spend money on expensive petroleum based fertilizers and pesticides? Isn’t manure and compost free, except for the little extra labor? Does the lack of pesticides and fertilizers reduce yields that much? I always chalked up that organic fruits and veggies were more expensive because that is what the market will bear. People are willing to pay higher prices.

Start a backyard garden and you can be organic for pennies.

All fruits and vegetables are organic. Grow your own if you want what is claimed is “organic”.

No one is holding a pistol to the head of organic veggie buyers and forcing them to buy the expensive organic stuff.

Their choice nor ours!

If you shop organic your trendy people can’t tell a wild strawberries from a organic one and not any safer.

Some love to fool themselves to be in the click.

I’ve been buying some of the “Dirty Dozen” in the organic section, but I am seriously considering dropping that practice because of the ridiculously high prices.
