I just read an article about organic food. One of the writers commented how it is hypocritical to demand more organic and healthier food and not be willing to pay for the difference.
He also included that for some people it is a big deal and they can't afford it.
But let's look at the big picture. If everyone started buying organic, natural foods the prices would be forced down due to competition.
Currently organics is not leading in the market I believe it is about 17% or less here in Finland. And everyone moans about the price and then buys the non-organic cheaper one.
But if we all bought it this would change. Yes it is more expensive to grow and make, and not as sure. But if the people demand the companies, governments, the world has the answer.
And those forward thinking people would set up companies to dive into the "new" organic food market.
Competition, competition.
But if you aren't willing to pay, the prices will never go down and even more long term the quality of food will decrease to such a level in which you can practically starve even with full plates of food just because the nutrients have been removed, sucked out or made so synthetically your body treats them as trash.
Most of us suck at seeing the big picture, in realizing that we do have the power to cause change.
Imagine, starving when your fridge and plate are full of food.
