electriclandMaybe it's me, but if I were a Canadian farmer, I'd feel pretty goddamm patronized by "joeyjb"'s comment at the bottom of this article: Organic farmers lagging behind demand at the supermarket: StatsCan
"FARMERS TAKE NOTE. People are willing to pay more for good healthy food," Joey informs us. Gosh, really? If you were a farmer, how would you respond? I favour:
"I already produce good healthy food, dumbass."
Or possibly: "Thank God we have you, JoeyJB! The damn trade associations like Canadian Organic Growers never share nuggets of wisdom like that one!"
And that's without getting into exactly how much of what you pay at the supermarket actually goes into farmers' pockets.
I think this may have caused a crucial circuit in my brain to blow, so what would you tell our buddy Joey?
