I was at the grocery store today getting some snacks and breakfast items. Lately I have been really trying to purchase healthier foods and be cognizant of the companies I invest in. As I went over to the refrigerated section grabbing some organic milk, I heard a girl say, "Look, Dad! There's the milk!" I heard him reply, "But it's organic. We don't want that." They proceeded to walk down the aisle and grab a "regular" gallon.
That made me think. I know organic is expensive, and maybe it tastes different to people (honestly, better in my opinion). But what is the aversion people have to organic products? I think that if individuals were more educated on why it is so beneficial to go for these goods, they might change their mind. It is not only healthier and sustainable, it is making a statement in our consumer-based society to support companies that have more of their priorities straight and aren't in completely just for profit or power.
Maybe I'm overreacting; I don't know. But I do know that family's conversation made me feel really sad.
