Farmer Joel Getting Back To Basics

| , ,

Finally someone supporting traditional raising of food that does not drive an Escalade or a Holier-than-thou. This guy is a farmer and what he says makes sense - especially when he explains why this kind of food does cost more. I generally don't buy organic due to price and also the fact that I don't know what exactly "organic" in this sense means. It is also something Farmer Joel talks about - the government owns the term Organic.

People who really care about this stuff don't make a big fuss about it. They don't espouse their beliefs to whoever is around them at Whole Foods or the local Farmer's Market. They just buy the food they like and shut up. That's why I like shopping in Europe: I can either go to the supermarket or I have the option of shopping old school by going from shop to shop, paying a little more but getting much better quality.
