LAST POLL RESULTS

39.3% of you voted Sometimes — it depends on the item. in yesterday’s poll: How often do you buy organic when grocery shopping?

“Definitely organic for ‘the Dirty Dozen.’”

“Mainly for fruits and vegetables, especially avocados, which I eat regularly. Also for certain kinds of lettuce.”

“I’m a vegan because I can’t kill. I do organic, non-GMO, unprocessed, healthy foods because my body deserves the best. Dining out is basically a nightmare, and I certainly cook more than I want to, but my body does feel good — rarely sluggish, very rarely sick — so there is that.”

“If I buy a fruit or vegetable with a peel, then I don’t see the need to buy organic, but if I’m eating the whole item, I will.”

“Look at knowledgeable recommendations: for items where pesticide residue remains high (e.g., berries), I tend to buy organic; where contamination risk is low (cruciferous vegetables), I don’t.”

“I prefer organic produce when possible, mainly because I notice differences in taste and texture. I’ve read that organic choices may matter more for produce eaten raw, such as lettuce or apples, and less for fruits with thicker rinds, like bananas or avocados.”

“I buy organic depending on what the fruit or veggies look and taste like. For instance, the organic artichokes don’t have much meat on the leaves and taste very bitter, so non-organic artichokes for me. I have a fridge magnet that says, ‘Organic food. What my grandparents called food.’ So true. Organic is usually much more expensive. Strawberries, though, I always buy organic.”

“Sometimes the organic fruit looks worse than the regular fruit. If the price is right, I will go organic. Eggs and chicken we always buy organic, non-GMO…”

“Organic is a priority, but then again, organic is not always available. Cost can be a consideration as well, but rarely, as the health benefits outweigh the cost. I choose organic as a go-to purchase whenever I can.”

“I’ve read about organic food and am not certain if the few benefits outweigh the extra pricing on products. I’ll buy it if my usual product isn’t available, though.”

“Cost is a factor — organic is pricier…”

“I compare with similar products and usually go with the cheaper product if there is a large price difference.”

“Would love to buy organic all of the time, but my grocery budget does not allow for that — it’s too expensive.”

“We struggle financially, so we don’t get the chance to often.”

“It really depends on the price.”

“We buy organic when the price is close or better than non-organic.”

“While organic is preferred, I prioritize local products first.”

“I only purchase organic bananas and cherry tomatoes!”

“I always look for the organic option, but if it’s not available, I’ll go conventional.”

“At WinCo, I always like to grab a pomegranate juice and sometimes a Bolthouse smoothie. At Safeway, they sometimes have a buy two for so many dollars deal on Bolthouse smoothies.”

“I’ve lived this long.”

“It usually is not worth the extra money.”

“I tried organic, and it spoiled on me before I was able to use all of it.”

“It is much more expensive than regular items. And I don’t think you can depend on it to be completely organic.”

“Extremely expensive, not worth the cost vs. the benefit.”

“Way too EXPENSIVE! I also have a backyard garden!”

“It’s not truly organic unless you grow it yourself… even then, think of the crap that is already in the soil you’re planting in.”

“Most so-called ‘organic’ isn’t.”

“Aren’t all vegetables organic?”
