Perhaps a bit of publicity is needed to clarify this for the woman with the shopping trolley. That's a very sexist and patronising assumption you're making. It wasn't intended to be sexist and I don't see why you use the word patronising. Don't women do most of the food shopping in the UK and if not what the hell are they doing cluttering up supermarkets in vast numbers? Waiting for Elvis. Contrary to evidence in this thread, not all men are off their trolleys, and many of them are educable. My point is that people do not know exactly what is meant by organic food. I quote the BBC. If they did I doubt that many would spend the extra money needed to buy it. My wife is a highly educated woman, she was as shocked as I was, when we found out what the UK organic food industry really meant by "organic". -- Martin |
