Author David Kamp explains why organic food is finding its way into American homes and why the myth of the elitist eater is as tired as Ann Coulter.
  • Only a Dollar....

    "Organic milk will "only" cost "about a dollar more" than industrial milk, per half gallon? Talk about elitist! There are still Americans for whom that breezy "about a dollar more" will be an obstacle.

    Hmmmmmmmmmm......."

    That's right bucko, only a dollar more. How's that elitist? That's the sort of argument that Republicans love to make on behalf of their 'poor but proud' constituents .... as they enact one policy after another that guarantees this sort of martyrdom of poverty will continue.

    Arguing for cheap, dirty, anti-elitist milk is not a good thing, in my book.

    Arguing for a decent standard of living so that everyone can afford the good stuff IS.
