Comments on: Interesting footnote to new organics study http://foodpluspolitics.com/2009/08/02/interesting-footnote-to-new-organics-study/ Recipes from scratch and a lot of chatter about food ( plus a little about politics ) Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:15:43 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: ellaella http://foodpluspolitics.com/2009/08/02/interesting-footnote-to-new-organics-study/#comment-5920 ellaella Wed, 05 Aug 2009 15:00:11 +0000 http://foodpluspolitics.com/?p=4315#comment-5920 I noticed that too, Muse, and I've seen it in other British articles about many things. I can't help but think that with the UK's ingrained class system, almost everything comes down to class divide. For all of Blair's talk about becoming a meritocracy it is still very much class-based. We do seem to enjoy better prices for organics than they do, but then I recently read a British piece on what to do with what it called "exotics" -- all extremely expensive. What were they? Bell peppers and zucchini (courgettes) are two that I recall. Vive la difference! I noticed that too, Muse, and I’ve seen it in other British articles about many things.

I read the whole article, and the part that really struck me, oddly enough ,was this sort of reverse prejudice, that organic food was this posh, snobby food, and we, the real people dismiss that. Wha? I also think that it's perfectly possible to find good organic food without paying tons more for it.
