Let’s clear up one issue: There is no such thing as local vs. organic. When it comes to consumer choice, we should be buying local and organic, though for mostly different reasons.

Buy organic always, and encourage and buy local. Doing so is a direct investment in one of our very few, possible futures.

    • It would be nice to buy organic food, IF IT WEREN"T SO EXPENSIVE!!

      I just don't have the money to spend on "organic" food. Everyone puts their on their boxes and packaging these days. And you know what, that stuff is usually $0.50-$2.00 more per item. When you're on a budget, like myself, you can't afford to buy organic food. I have to buy the processed junk like everyone else, or I won't enough food for the month. And don't even try to tell me that if I eat more organic foods, that I'll eat less. I won't. I'll eat the same no matter what. I eat like a halfling.

    • Buy local first!
      I have a CSA farm near my house, organic crops lost 75% of their yeild because of a worm. We Need SMARTER farming. not over spraying. if my farmer uses a mild pesticide, ONCE at the right time he eliminats the worm infestation = food and local economy.
