I saw someone mention "Unpopular Take: The overemphasis on organic food in HomeNurtureCircle" and it got me thinking. Does anyone else feel like the focus on only organic produce and ingredients in some home and family circles is a bit much? I understand the desire to avoid pesticides and support sustainable farming, but it feels like it ofen comes at the expense of practicality and accessibility.
Specifically, I've noticed discussions where people seem to actively shame others for choosing conventional options, even when budget is a clear constraint. We should be encouraging healthy eating habits in general, and for many people, consistently affording a wide variety of conventional fruits and vegetables is already a challenge. Making organic a rigid requirement seems counterproductive, possibly leading to less overall fruit and vegetable consumption. It's vital to consider the bigger picture and not let perfect be the enemy of good. Are there studies showing a notable health difference in realistic consumption scenarios, where affordability limits the amount of organic food people can actually buy?
