Are you telling me that that these consumers care more about the environment than they do about helping their fellow man? Nope don't believe that at all. Not sure I buy this study and the results.

They seem to think that I am doing the world and my kids a great disservice by not providing these options for them. I sometimes just want to say look, if I could afford to do it I would but with my very limited income I do not have the budget to make that work. Do I have fresh fruits and vegetables in the home? Of course. But are they all organic? No because I can't afford to shop that way. And to those of you who look down on me for that then shame on you.

Such people,in my opinion, would not behave in an irresponsible manner and go to the extent of hurting others.
