I went grocery shopping this afternoon. I go to this great place called Gourmet Garage on 96th and park ave. It's a fantastic store full of organic produce and loads of gourmet food stuffs! I strolled though the shop picking up my necessaries and a few luxuries. When I got to the cash register I almost SHIT myself! 50 F%^king dollars for what you see above! Are you kidding me?! I'm a chef so I'm used to purchasing the most expensive ingredients for my clients, but I thought how can anyone afford to buy healthy organics...it's highway robbery! I'm lucky to be able to afford SOME of these things myself, but there are so many who can't! It's no wonder why so many people eat SHIT FOOD, and become over weight etc. Because if you're a family that is just getting by you could never afford to truly eat healthy. I'm sure that it's expensive to grow organics. But I wish that there were more education about the importance of eating these foods, and that they were more readably available to those with low income....
