The Slow Food chief charlatan is at odds with the Ferry Plaza farmer's market vendors in San Francisco. His main complaint seems to be that the prices are astronomical. As a recovered organic farmer/vendor ourselves we agree that most farmers (like anyone else) sell at the highest price possible and sometimes collude with other vendors to keep prices high (illegal but who would investigate cute lil organic farmers?). Personally, we think this is fine. There is plenty of cheap produce to be had elsewhere.
Organic food, slow food, local food, whatever. It is all a SCAM! These all cater to well-off folks with more money than brains. The activist branches of these movements do great harm to poor folks' ability to buy cheap produce by agitating against technology (DDT, GMO, etc) that makes food cheaper, especially in the third world. These are the people who share responsibility for starving children in Africa.
So next time you have the choice, pass up those organic apples and BUY CONVENTIONAL!

Quotes
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." --Samuel Adams
"The Republican Party is the ship, the rest is the sea."--Frederick Douglass
"There are only two sides to the question. Every man must be for the United States or against it. There can be no neutrals in this war, only patriots--or traitors."-Stephen Douglas (1861 after the fall of Fort Sumter)
"I am in favor of cutting taxes under any circumstances and for any excuse, for any reason, whenever it's possible."-Milton Friedman
"But the LORD is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble, they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten. O LORD of hosts, who triest the righteous, who seest the heart and the mind, let me see thy vengeance upon them, for to thee have I committed my cause."-Book Of Jeremiah
