organic. Too bad. Cost is another factor, esp. now. Education about nutrition and food is critical and should be taught in U.S. schools.

Reaching young people about good nutrition is key. Some older folks who are so set in their ways and habits resist change. In one case it drives me nuts, a family who can afford it. Sad, it's pure habit, inflexibility and rigidity...😕
