I thought it was interesting to compare the different foods because I've never really noticed what the price differences were. Before I went to the store, I was actually expecting the organic foods to be more expensive than they were. I think spending a little extra on organic foods is worth all the nutritional benefits they provide.
I think it's worth it to spend a little more for organics.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the organic is reasonably close in price and looks good, I will buy it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had any experience in eating organic foods. I have seen them when shopping but they didn't look as fresh as the other products. They wanted a higher price but didn't really understand why. I was raised on a farm and we had a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables and there was no product called organic. I understand why they are trying to sell them but for what purpose. If you cook any fruit or vegetable they lose any vitamins or minerals they had. I love all fruits and vegetables and I like them fresh or slightly cooked. I guess I'm a poor person to sell on organic. At over eighty years old and healthy I don't see a change in my future to organic products.
