Organic is a big thing here. So much so that most stores have been carrying
it for years. I do try to buy organic meats, grass fed beef, etc. most of
the time.

I did used to buy organic produce all of the time but... I stopped! Now I
may or may not buy organic. Why? Because I realized that despite someone
taking care not to use chemicals on their crops, those chemicals are in the
air and water. So they're going to get in there anyway. At least some of
them are. And if it's something you'd peel like a banana, the fruit is fine
even if not organic.

When I got organic CSA boxes all the time, there was often cabbage in there.
But it was so bitter that we couldn't eat it. The celery was sometimes
inedible too.
