"The politicization of food by the elites of the left always comes down to class."
The cultural ascendance of the left has meant that instead of conspicuous consumption,the consumption has to be disguised with conspicuous political pieties. The food may cost twice as much, but it's locally grown on a farm run by handicapped union workers who visit Cuba to receive free health care or by the indigenous peoples of Tuba-Tuba with the proceeds going to a complete sonic library of their chants and ceremonies. The entire thing is meaningfully meaningless, but it disguises the consumption in a hairshirt, which is the entire point. --Sultan Knish a blog by Daniel Greenfield

All anyone really needs to know about organic food is that it's grown in real shit.

Organic produce, when looked at side by side with its more genetically pumped up doppelgangers, looks weak, bruised and unappetizing. And then, when you get over the shock of the prices, organic produce should have the words, "A Sucker is Born Every Minute" stamped on them instead of an "organic" label.

Jewel - Sure. How about the difference in taste, though?
