Buying food absolutely counts if you're going to sneer at people using the justification of "doing what Big Business tells them to do"

Unless...
You only buy your food from some tiny peasant organic farmer/allotment holder.

Big business doesn't tell you to eat, it tells you what to eat. By snacking on beetroot and brussels sprouts, I am sticking two fingers up to the man.

Hah
If organic food isn't 'doing what you're told', I don't know what is.

I'm sure there are some very honest and well intentioned organic producers around, but having some experience, I can tell you a lot of it is a total racket.

fact: Difference between organic sugar and non organic sugar in some (nameless) countries = Packet is printed different, and price is just about double. Same stuff in the packet.

Missing my point...
It was about small local farmers, who produce goods, not huge factory farms, which produce large quantities of homogenous food that we are told to eat because it looks crunchy, or shiny, or tasty.

The organic bit was reference to the fact that you are avoiding the likes of Monsanto, and pesticide people, who tell you what type of food to eat, and grow.

... and instead playing into the hands of Holland and Barratt ...
who tell you what type of food to eat, and grow.
