$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Cashmere', 'N')arz, you're right. I was wrong to use "vegan". I should have stuck with "organic".

If Vegans are OK with biotech food, non-organic food, and products tested on animals, then they'll be fine.

My point is, with prices rising, all groups will be driven toward the lower cost.

As for Killjoy -

Explain to me what extra labor is required to grow and harvest apples "organically"?

It seems to me that the only difference between an organic apple orchard and a non org. apple orchard is the yield per hectare and the cost of energy inputs. How much could certification cost? Certainly not a large portion of the difference in price.

Let me repeat: the organics "movement," as it is currently practiced, is not interested in planning for a "sustainable," fossil-energy-reduced future. It is interested in hyping over-priced "toxin-free" carrots to gullible Prius drivers.
