price and quality of organic

[Guest guest]

I had an interesting conversation with someone on Saturday. They told

me they actually spoke to the produce manager at our local grocery

chain store and asked why their organic produce was hit and miss, not

great quality and expensive. Since the guy knew her he was pretty

honest and told her that the warehouse holds the organic produce for a

really long time and then right before going bad it's sent to the

stores. Then people see poor quality produce and say " I don't want to

spend $3 on that when it's almost spoiled. " It's all politics. The

grocer association is a mamoth of political pressure and have

attempted to defeat bottle bills, nutritional labeling, GMO labeling

and anything else that consumers what to help the environment and our

own lives.

I agree that $8.00 for an eggplant is outrageous How much was it

per pound? That would be a luxury at that price. Sometimes I buy

organic yellow squash and it's brown around the inside of the circle.

I wonder what causes that, it even tastes bitter. You would think

being organic it would taste better. I have bought many organic

potatoes that are green under the skin and that is supposed to be bad

for you. have you ever noticed that?..............Donna

dollars at the farmer's market! =)
