I’d also say that, in my opinion, organic food *does* taste far better. It even looks better although, to me, looks are not the issue. But just compare an organic steak, for instance, with one from a supermarket. Next to the organic steak, the supermarket steak looks pretty much beat up, with poor texture, and fake red “juice” in it. And the taste is nowhere comparable.

Imagine a grocery store that had unit prices as a function of nutrient density? Wouldn’t that be interesting?

One of the reasons I dislike shopping in mainstream grocery stores is that I am confronted with what people put in their shopping carts. It is painful to me. I want to run up and beg them, “Don’t you know that this will kill you?” Often though my gaze shifts from the shopping cart to their bodies and faces and I can’t help but realize that they are already dying a trans fatty acid death. I wish I could help them to see…

What amazes me is when people will say things like, “I don’t want to spend the money, I’d rather not worry so much about what I eat and die 5 years younger.” I’ll usually reply, “It’s not only about longevity of life, but about quality of life, too.” It is sad how many people don’t age well and have many health issues to deal with at younger and younger ages.
