Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
According to a study that our friends over at Green Daily unearthed, it is now officially cool to eat organic. That poll showed that the number of people buying organic is going up and that 79% of people believe that buying organic food is better for the environment. Ninety-eight percent of frequent organic food buyers believe that it also tastes better than conventional foods. The study also broke down which groups of people are doing the organic buying and discovered that they are either mostly liberal, mostly college graduates and are frequently both. These results make me blush a little, as I fall smack dab into this demographic and I do my best to buy organic foods whenever possible. Who knew I was so predictable?

For instance, organic food is more expensive than conventional. It's a provable fact. The study reports on what percent of people believe that, but belief isn't the issue. Similarly, it asked people whether they believe that organic food is better for the environment. Well, it is. And even if you don't believe it, it's still true.
The questions should have asked things like "Do you believe organic food is worth the extra cost?" That's a belief, and it can be polled. But a poll about facts is just silly.

It might be "cool" to spend lots of money on something trendy like this, but all it's doing is proving that old adage about a fool and his money.
