Agreed, and it doesn't help, too, that programs like SNAP and WIC make it harder to do so as well. WIC specifically states in a few cases that "organic" foods aren't allowed.

Thankfully, we've got a couple farmer's markets that accept SNAP.

Being both a chef and social worker gives me the weirdest perspective on these things, but a lot of people overlook how hard it is to eat healthy, even with food benefits.
