Why pay more?

I was reading an article on NYT.com the other day about the sticker shock in the organic aisles.

I thought it was quite interesting. I definitely don't have anything against organic food (I eat some organic things), but I just think that the demand of the organic supplies is increasing the costs way to high.


They wonder why 1/3 of the U.S. is overweight. Who wants to pay over $7 for a gallon of milk? Not to mention over $4 for a loaf of bread. I mean..seriously? Eat healthy and go bankrupt, or eat enjoyably and have a couple extra lbs? I'll take the later.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that there is this "organic craze" going on in the celebrity limelight and consumers are flocking towards it like mad geese. Just a thought.

What is the American population really after?

Wow.

If I where to see this list of Best Sellers and not know a thing about Americans here is what I would assume.

Remember..this is without ever reading or hearing of these books before.





American culture is...

1) Obsessed with the lives of celebrities

2) Struggling with some sort of addiction:
Maybe nutritional addiction? Too much of our culture is about being thinner than the next person.

3) When one is a particular political party they are hardcore against anything else...to an extreme.

There are some things about the American culture that I am completely against. Yet, I still love my country and most of what it stands for.
