I'm organic when I can afford it, and non-organic when I can't........basically it's EXPENSIVE!

Can't get it here, not reached the island of Cyprus

Too expensive.

Like to get it when I can, but they don't tend to have organic stuff at the local shops so I can only really get it when I go to a big supermarket - or even more expensive farmer's market.

LOL at this.

I think most of us are organic, tbh. Its a rare lifeform that can survive without carbon...

Ooh Medulla, just teh thought of those heavenly cyprus potatoes - never tasted a potato like it in the UK!

You don;t exactly "need" organic for flavour over there, do you!

I am really disappointed with the standard of the fruit and veg over here. Maybe I'll find out just how good the cypriot stuff is next week when I get back to the UK for a holiday.

Because its too expensive.
If its organic then surely it should be cheaper to buy because whatever it is, hasn't had nasty chemicals put on/into it and i grown naturally, yes?

Doesn't make sense IMO. Maybe thats just me being too thick.

Medulla I have good memories of food in Cyprus but I am talking 5-6 years ago, maybe things have changed.

I'm not organic either - too expensive for my budget. I just try to buy fresh food, as little processedd stuff as poss and keep it reasonbly healthy.

Too expensive

too expensive - buy it when I can, but thats not very often.

too expensive and not enough choice.

too expensive

I do eat 90 % organic. The only exceptions are where I buy local, which I think is more important, or where the kids want some fruit that a local shop has tempted them with. Grow a lot of it ourselves.

It just makes me PMSL to see it used in this way. NO I am not silicon based, thank you, my electrons cannae take it.

mainly cost
also because i want to support local market/ shops, which round here don't often do organic fruit and veg
and i would always buy 'british' rather than 'foreign organic'
try to buy 'british organic' if i can - would ideally go for a box but don't feel i can afford it atm
the one thing i still try to afford is organic milk for ds

ooh get MaloryFelicityKendallTowers

I grow a lot of my own organic fruit and veg, herbs as well. Keep my own organic chickens for eggs.

I rarely buy supermarket organic because its expensive and money is a bit tight at the minute. But also because of air miles, most organic stuff comes from further away than non-organic stuff. Any fruit or veg I haven't got in the garden I try to buy from the village greengrocers ratehr than Tescos, and the village shop doesn't stock organic.

too expensive. tho we will soon be getting lots of organic apples from my nheighbour.

HMM I think I can see a pattern forming here
