Price is the Stopper for Organics

A recent survey found that when many people think about organically grown food (no chemical inputs including pesticides or herbicides), the first thing they think is that organics are more expensive than conventional food. Also, people who have never bought organics by now say they probably won't ever buy them. However, people who say they have committed to eating more healthfully do buy products they believe are better for them. This is all in a survey by A.C. Nielsen's Consumer Pre*View, a panel headed by the SupermarketGuru himself, Phil Lempert. This brief story from ProgressiveGrocer.com packs some interesting statistics in a small space.
