It is okay to want more variety when shopping for groceries. But we've been conditioned to expect cheap foods that taste awful. You'll find identical prepackaged foods in most grocery stores.
Organic food is becoming more popular today because it provides better nutrition and great tasting food. So how do you convince people it's worth paying a little extra?
But you could still tell them that organic foods are more expensive. It doesn't change the fact that organic food tastes more delicious. It might even make them suspicious of your motives.
Instead, you should highlight its many benefits. Organic food is healthier and contains less pesticides, antibiotics, and it has higher nutritional content. Organic food is also grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers or herbicides. This makes it healthier for our bodies and the environment.
Many people avoid organic food because they assume it's too expensive. They may find that spending just a few dollars per Week is worthwhile if they consider the health benefits.
