I knew it all along — Eat local, Act Evil

Local organic garlic is $1.25 a head. If I am paying a dollar for garlic, I expect to get at least 5 bulbs, a dozen if I make the hike to china town. I have a rule for eating organic: if I peel it, it doesn't need to be organic. I want to reduce my footprint. I just don't like reducing my wallet in order to do so.

As such, I was tickled when I read the piece in Slate (on Slate.com?) that, citing an article in Psychological Sciences by UofT scientists— stated that buyers of "green" products were more likely to cheat, steal and — my favourite — not share.

For the record I happen to believe that certified organic yarn maybe the dumbest product on the planet. I am not so concerned about the pesticides that go into the grain the sheep eat, as I am not going to eat the wool — not in any volume for certain. Some of my favourite wools happen to be organic (same for, and wines, tomatoes) but "organic" isn't what makes me lurv them.
