(14,255 posts)why would you need to bother yourself about it? Are you just as upset that some cars cost $50,000 and other cars cost $10,000?
That some sneakers cost the moon, and sneakers at Payless are really inexpensive?
Do caviar and truffles make you angry? It is all a choice, and as long as people with little money are not having to pay the high prices, I don't see the issue here, unless you are using price as a scapegoat for not caring for the whole organic thing anyway.
I wish organic milk was the worst "scam" in the country today. It is just a personal choice. Like buying a Timex or a Rolex. Both tell time.
No, I don't buy organic milk. I love sour cream and using heavy cream in recipes, but the thought of drinking milk makes me gag, for some reason. Maybe because I spent six years in a place charmingly called The Southern Home for Destitute Children, and we got milk donated right from a dairy farm, all cold and in the big silvery metal cans. When I got out, I drank a glass of milk from the grocery store, and that was not what I was used to. Never drank another glass of milk from about age 12. (70, no prescription drugs needed, so I didn't miss anything essential)
