While I was in Mexico, I found that it was "cool" to buy tomatoes from the roadside stand "manned" by a peasant Mexican woman who lived in a grass hut and slept on a dirt floor. Even though these tomatoes weren't "organic", I found that my hippie cohorts said it was okay that I bought non-organic tomatoes from this woman. I'm having a hard time understanding why it was cool to buy non-organic from this woman and it's not cool to buy non-organic from Kroger? Would it be okay if Kroger was dressed up as a poor woman in Mexico selling tomatoes from a cart? I'm so confused. Please help me out..
..Oh dear ethics police, please help me out with these difficult life decisions.
thought it might help

In the rest of the world when faced with a complex problem governments research thoroughly and write deep and complicated laws to solve the problem. And the public demands this. But more importantly these decisions are based on reality: locally grown organic food is better for us in every way and we should therefore make it easier and cheaper to buy this kind of food.
In the rest of the world when the people rise up in protest against their government, the government listens.
Just some observations.

it's not a rule that local food is better.. and that article is saying that it's "greener" meaning it's better for the environment, not for us. especially not "in every way". careful what you read and how you read it.Alan Evil wrote: But more importantly these decisions are based on reality: locally grown organic food is better for us in every way and we should therefore make it easier and cheaper to buy this kind of food.
