Organics: "The Private School of Food"May 09, 2008
Just wanted to point out this quote in a Newsweek article about how consumers are backing off organic food as its prices rise:
"Organics is becoming the private school of food." Is becoming? Sort of always thought of it that way. (Must be a lot of supermarket angst on the Newsweek dinner-party circuit. A week earlier the same mag published a whine from a self-described "food snob" about how Basque cheese is now $22 a pound and Italian olive oil is $43 a liter. That piece contained this quote: "Food snobs know that food isn't simply fuel to get you through the day: It's an expression of taste, refinement, and global consciousness. ") Food snobs clearly don't have four kids or more productive things to think about in their day. |
