I'm envious! Our nearest organic grocers is nearly an hour's drive away and it's expensive. It's in a posher suburb than ours. We're in the feral suburbs. 😆 I actually have a friend who makes jokes about not traveling north of her suburb, because north goes down in class. I'm like, "hey I'm north!" Admittedly, there are some pretty scary looking people at our local shopping centres...

I was chatting to someone recently about how the prices of meat used to be such that it was a rare treat for most people. Growing up, my dad's family couldn't afford it until his father got transferred (army) to Germany and they got an extra living allowance. Then they got to have a roast dinner each Sunday and the leftover meat on Monday. Really, the cost of raising meat should make it more of a luxury, but it's subsidised in many western countries. Unfortunately, putting it all at organic pricing (and raising it organically and ethically) would make it luxury for many and promoting that could be considered promoting poverty.
