Organic is King. The public shun fat, lazy farming practice in their droves.
For years British farmers have gotten fat on subsidies and easy
street, they pumped our produce full of pesticides and herbicides without a care for anybody but themselves. The public is slowly waking up. Viva Organic. This is why we must fight the GM devils. http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/news/ Sales of organic food top pounds 1bn for the first time as families come back for more Once it was the preserve of health obsessives and eco-conscious vegetarians. Now the organic food industry has come of age: its annual sales in Britain have topped pounds 1bn for the first time, prompting observers to talk of a revolution in British eating habits. The desire for better tasting meals and fears for the safety of food have led to the market growing 10% in a year, making Britain the third largest market in the world for organic produce, behind the US, whose sales total pounds 5.9bn, and Germany, pounds 1.6bn. We spend pounds 53 a year per household on organic food, but there is a long way to go before it dominates the market: the total British family budget for food and non-alcoholic drinks for a year is pounds 2,200. A report into the state of the organic market and agriculture in the UK produced yesterday by the Soil Association, which certifies organic produce, shows that fruit and vegetables are the foods most likely to be tried by new organic consumers, with better health and better taste the primary motivating factors. Food quality, animal welfare, environmental benefits and avoidance of GM ingredients are also significant influences. Those who do not buy organic food say the extra cost is the biggest deterrent. The most remarkable change has been in the demand for baby food. Parents' fears for what their infants may be eating along with their vegetable and fruit purees has led to three in four babies being fed only with organic lines. Manufacturers have been forced to cancel orders for ingredients with traditional farmers and switch to guaranteeing all ingredients are organic. Copyright © 2003 The Guardian.
