Totally agree Alison, a little dirt never hurt (as long as it IS just dirt and not some of the other nasties which have been mentioned) but chemicals are another matter. I do also have issues with 'foodmiles' as well though, and buying something grown in some farflung place that could just as well be grown in the uK and unfortunately the two issues don't seem to go together which is very annoying.

I have looked through this thread and see very little mention of price!

I work in a fairly low paid job (Although I wouldn't change it for the earth!)

I prefer to feed my family with organic, locally produced produce. I can't afford to buy this produce.

This is the reason I have taken on two allotments to grow my own and feed my family with healthy food grown locally

The majority of shoppers will have a budget to adhere to and probably very little time to shop because they are working mothers/fathers.

The questions I do ask myself when shopping is, whether it's organic?, green? or locally produced?, but much more importantly, whether I can afford it, or not?
