Exactly. I feel that more than other people. I'm usually the one defending natural sugar in fruits. Some fitness people have literally zero fruit! That's like unhealthy.
Tried the farmer's market thing. I like shopping with the wealthy people at Central Market. Best shopping experience, IMO.
I heard somebody who shops at Farmer's Markets say that grocery store organics isn't the best quality of organics. To get the best stuff, you should shop at a Farmer's Market.
It is a waste of money for organics though. Probably only benefits you -5% after 20 years of eating organics. Fitness and healthy eating is my main hobby so I'm not stressing. Thanks for the concern though. Also, I rarely buy those expensive apples. The ones I buy are like $2.50/lb.
You wanna see ridiculous pricing on produce though.. Check out these Padron peppers, not even organic
Bought like 5 peppers for $2.30
If you can afford it, why not? I think a better investment though, is just growing your own vegetables, just to steer clear of anything iffy. Some health nuts and fitness people go crazy about stuff like sugar and carbs, but if they're wholesome and good for you (especially super foods) I think they're actually necessary for a sound, balanced diet. It's not good to go overboard either way, just find a balance and be active.
