That's a good idea to remember. Not eating it, better than eating junk. It makes sense. I use to say we are what we eat. I don't want to be junk. ;)

My guess is that quality food is going to become more and more expensive. Health and wealth.

I actually adapted this insight from a vegan saying something similar about how they avoid craving animal products.

Affordability of healthy food could go either way. Organic food is actually much more expensive than it would be if it were more popular. That's because all of the existing food infrastructure is for cheaply delivering non-organic foods and organic has to have it's own parallel infrastructure since it can't be mixed with the other foods.

As a vegan,(well almost vegan because the organic eggs from my ladies lovely hens are too good ;) I may be lucky that I barely remember last time I ate meat when I was a child. So no craving.

Organic should be more popular and less expensive as a consequence. But I've been hoping for that all my life and it doesn't seem to happen. Now I think if all good would be organic, we would not be able to feed the entire population. That's why my pessimistic message about good food being more and more expensive. I don't know. I've been very pessimistic lately.

We'll see if MAHA leads to any surge in organic demand. I hope it will.

Insight from a vegan? That’s like saying I have a unicorn as my service animal

Sometimes it pays off when you don't completely dismiss everyone you disagree.

Neither did any vegans
