Ustedes no se dan una idea del negocio formidable que es el de los “productos orgánicos”. En el supermercado ves unas bananas hermosas, que parecen de cera, de Ecuador, a 69 centavos la libra. Al lado, de la mitad del tamaño, con manchas marrones, a $1,39 la libra. Ah, pero son “orgánicas”. Como si las de 69 centavos no lo fueran.
La vez pasada era el pollo. Ahora son los huevos: los “orgánicos” son más caros pero NO son más saludables.
Disparates “new age” para aparatos de clase media acomodada de primer mundo que no saben qué merda hacer con la plata:
Like any other workers, hens turn out economy, premium and luxury products — known as factory, cage-free and organic eggs — and consumers pay accordingly. A recent survey conducted in one random city — Athens, Ga. — found factory eggs going for $1.69 per dozen, cage-free for $2.99 to $3.59, and organic for $3.99 to a whopping $5.38.
But it's worth it to pay more because you're getting a healthier product, right? Wrong. Most of the time, according to a just-released study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the eggs are indistinguishable. When there is a difference, it's often the factory eggs that are safer.
