Other times I have been in the same store and the organic aisles are packed. <br /><br />@Anon - I still don't know if I can stomach 400% markup on pasta sauce :)<br /><br />@greenwake - Love that. Better not perfect.<br /><br />@SF - so we shouldn't actually yell "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MINDS??" ;) <br /><br />@Jesse - That is awesome about your Dad!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220004667538143849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198725602225380188.post-91783708300092884462013-03-01T15:54:42.504-05:002013-03-01T15:54:42.504-05:00I feel the same way, and I rant to my hubby when I...I feel the same way, and I rant to my hubby when I get home from grocery stores, etc. But then something great happens - like my dad asking to use my non-GMO seeds (when he had no idea what GMO meant a few months ago). Then I think people are slowly discovering what we're so passionate about!

I do have those days. I'm really ...Oh yeah ... I do have those days. I'm really not the kind of person who "looks down" on others because I understand that we're all at different points in our journey ... but ... sometimes I just want to scream out loud "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MINDS???". I actually have a post ready to publish next month on this very subject. Sometimes, all I can do is look at the benefits to me personally. The good news ... tomorrow's another day and just maybe it'll be one of those good days where you see your positive influence.

I kill myself trying to research the best possible way (for me and for the environment) to do various things in my everyday life, but when I feel crappy I try to remember that as long as the changes I make are better, rather than perfect, I am making a difference.

Sometimes I find 50% off stickers on new things I'd like to try and they are discounted because nobody else wanted them. Score for me! Also, every time I make a good choice, I think that maybe the prices will come down if they sell more. If we keep chipping away at what we're doing and letting people know why we make those choices, the prices surely will come down...supply & demand right? Besides, it's not about anyone else. For me it's all about my family and feeding them the very best that I can. As long as we are healthy and happy that's all that matters. That 400% more spent on pasta sauce will probably equal 1000% less spent on health care when I'm older :) Seems decent to me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198725602225380188.post-84217933929386665352013-02-26T08:40:38.121-05:002013-02-26T08:40:38.121-05:00I think it depends on where you live.

Now that I'm in a small town in Maryland, I'm the only one, and it's disheartening. I have really pretty bags, so I'm hoping I some how become a trend setter. ;)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11485570310550871974noreply@blogger.com
