[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 966691, member: 88961"] Have you considered how many food miles your organic eggs from Cole and Able have travelled, as opposed to sourcing from a local farmer, where you can probably see the chickens go about their business? I must say, I am extremely fortunate to have access to a farmer, with farm shop business locally. He is down a horrid lane, but I quite enjoy choosing my butchery etc, and selecting which cuts of meat I want to buy and have it butchered as I want it, in front of my eyes. I'm afraid some of the organic stuff we see may be marketed a ssuch, but I have my doubts. Also, there are, in my view, often-times other moral debates going in my mind. For example: I can buy a supposedly organic pineapple, from Costa Rica, in my local greengrocer for around £2. I can't buy a decent pineapple, on an island known for its pineapples for that amount of money. How does the farmer make any money out of those £2 pineapples, when post harvest, they are flown 5000 miles to market? That's just my own view. I guess we each have our own brand of food snobbery.
