The snobbery of organic foods

[Abcdxxxx]

Holy shit, it's a trite lifestyle article in the NY TIMES about the new organic food trend in New York with the recent opening of Whole Foods. The writer decided to compare two drastically different markets on the same block. Probably to expense account a meal. Farm Fresh good isn't a novelty in other parts of the US, but it sure is in Manhattan where the shopping carts she's talking about are like miniature kids size so they can fit down the narrow aisles.

Do I think income has an infleunce on diet? C'mon, are you that desperate to milk some substance out of that article? City poverty is a misnomer first of all. You can be poor and still wear a $400 throwback jersey at the Bronx River Houses, where you have no furniture to put in front of your wide screen tv. You can use your food stamps to buy playstation games, or organic milk. These are lifestyle choices. It's not like people who live off the land with a fully natural diet represent our elite, upper class. We're not talking about government cheese or sugar water babies here....we're talking about the difference between the old supermarket chains of New York and a new breed of markets with a pricier product. it's a specific case study, and a lame article.
