We eat organic natural foods because we enjoy them and can afford them and we live within walking distance of a Whole Foods Market, a Trader Joe's, and a week-end Farmer's Market. The vast majority of people cannot access these food sources or afford the higher prices. You are considered part of the elite if you shop for food at these establishments.
You failed to provide any links or cite any sources that would indicate that organic or non-GMO foods are superior to human health over normal foods purchased at a Safeway food store. Organic food preferences are simply personal preferences, cult fads and the food fetishes of rich people. You also failed to provide any alternative sources for the availability of food to the mass of humanity. There is no scientific proof that organic or natural foods contribute anything to improved human health over normal food in a Safeway store. According to what I've read, there is broad scientific consensus that food on the market derived from GM crops does not pose any greater risk to human health than conventional food. "In fact, 'factories' located within the plant itself are now known to make new genes. The new genes are composed of pieces of old genes and are put together haphazardly. Hence, we have always been eating foods containing brand new — but totally uncharacterized —genes." http://geneticliteracyproject.org/2015/02/17/confession-of-a-liberal-organic-food-consumer-and-scientist-i-support-gmos/ http://geneticliteracyproject.org/2015/02/17/confession-of-a-liberal-organic-food-consumer-and-scientist-i-support-gmos/ ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : Farmers markets are year round here. The produce selection this winter has been pretty dismal due to the drought. When I was living in Seattle I shopped the co-op. Some of our supermarkets, like Raley's, have large organic produce sections and it's sometime worth checking prices because some items might be on sale for less than the non-organic.

In addition to the people also subscribe to Food Cooperatives. Many of our friends split a subscription because the bounty is so large. Here's a link to last year's Farmer's Market Guide. Dr. Triguna would be proud of how seasonal our eating is, LOL! http://www.tricountyfarm.org/files/2014_tc_ffg.pdf http://www.tricountyfarm.org/files/2014_tc_ffg.pdf
