These are the choices

TIA

Whole Foods, the other two places are too far of a drive.

Depends which HEB, but the newer ones are the best grocery stores around.

I am sure it doesnt matter. HEB always talks about their organic shite so it cant be terrible. Plus its probably cheaper.

Organic food is a big scam. Just buy the cheapest shite you can find, it's all pretty much the same.

I was buying organic apples there and they were all brown every time. So I had to get them at kroger or target

Millerman, my heb is probably old though

I'll tell you the only reason I'm in the business is because it is a profitable business. I'm not some starry-eyed farmer who thinks that organic will save the world.

Dark (as in not well lit) and generally overpriced.

Trader Joe´s is very expensive for what it is.

This, and I´m no fan of Sprouts (but recognize what little positives they have).

But the more you spend on organic produce...the more weight you lose. It's science Festus.

No it's not

To be called organic, there can't have been any pesticides used on the land for the three years prior to planting

That's for USDA certification, at least. Their rules are bullshite. I can't legally tell my customers that the produce is organic.

Thanks. I just Googled and was fixing to stop at fresh market on Memorial

Nurse, this healthy eating plan is not about losing weight. It's about getting healthy and ridding my body of toxins
