[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. No, there are definitely things that I would buy (and DO buy) at Giant or Safeway, but I feel like I am getting a lesser product. For example, they don't offer any eggs from free-range chickens.  I think the only milk brand that I'd consider buying is Stonyfield. They have a really poor selection of organic vegetables and fruits....and almost everything Giant has that's "organic" is the company's own "Nature's Promise" brand, which I've heard is a joke.

[b]I sometimes feel like when it comes to food in this country, we are all mostly locked in to places like Giant and Safeway, because of cost, proximity, etc.[/quote][/b]

Just be glad you have ready access to food.  Millions of people, including other Americans, don't.  Make wise choices at the regular grocery stores and ignore the rest.  This is really the [i]definition[/i] of a first world problem.

[b]And BTW, did you read the recent studies about organic produce?  [/b][/quote]

You mean the one where it said they're no more nutritious? Yes, we all saw it. I can't speak for OP, but that's not why I buy organic. I buy organic to avoid eating pesticide residue, to prevent more of the same from entering the water and air, and to prevent farm workers from being exposed to these chemicals, which are fine in their place, but if foods can be grown without them, good.[/quote]
