There is a big shady angle to the organic/local/natural food movement. Yuppies and granola types are getting raped by producers on price. People are bring up sound logic.
If I drive to a farm to buy fresh raw milk under the table the farmer simply has labour and a container to charge me for, the costs of processing, mass storage, and shipping are taken out of the equation. I understand mass produced crap is a whole other level. For example it's not possible to beat Mcdees in price, there are clear reasons their good costs as cheap as it does and no natural way aside from selling hamburgers of your front porch can beat them. Same aspect for supermarket milk but fresh farm milk shouldn't cost more then it's "organic" counterparts you see in the healhy stores.
