Complaining of the Obvious

The Center for Consumer Freedom, a coalition that includes mainstream restaurants and food producers, says the Organic Consumers Association is run by "radical social activists."

"These activists are clearly hoping to drive U.S. shoppers away from the grocery meat counter and toward more expensive organic and so-called 'natural' options," said David Martosko, research director for the center.

Well, duh. You don't expect people promoting the sale of organic beef to tell consumers to buy nonorganic beef, do you?

What I want to know is where this reporter is finding ground beef for 68 cents a pound. At Jewel I have to pay $3 a pound for the same stuff. Not that I'm all that interested in buying it anymore.
