ORGANIC FOOD MOVEMENT EXPOSED

This article at one of my favorite e-magazines, Slate, should be required reading for the unhinged left, particularly here in Oregon.

Is Whole Foods Wholesome? - The dark secrets of the organic-food movement. By Field Maloney

The "money quote":
"It's likely that neither Wal-Mart nor Whole Foods will do much to encourage local agriculture or small farming, but in an odd twist, Wal-Mart, with its simple "More for Less" credo, might do far more to democratize the nation's food supply than Whole Foods. The organic-food movement is in danger of exacerbating the growing gap between rich and poor in this country by contributing to a two-tiered national food supply, with healthy food for the rich. Could Wal-Mart's populist strategy prove to be more "sustainable" than Whole Foods? Stranger things have happened."

Hehehe...
