Frankly, I think there's some hope in what the Whole Foods Marketing approach has tapped into: you want the best, organic is the best, therefore you deserve it. You can't brow beat folks into it; focus on the luxury angle. I agree with both of you…hit the nail on the head.

Taking steps to reduce the number of feed lots and decrease the poisoning of animals we eat with growth hormones, antibiotics and pesticides can only increase the health of our nation.
