It's just human nature

Another of these strange and rather pointless surveys has concluded that people who buy organic food are less likely to be kind and helpful to others.  Actually I'm not sure that the methodology used really supports that conclusion, but I'm equally sure that it's probably right.  It's got nothing to do with organic food as such - it's simply that the sort of people who buy organic food are more likely to be the sort of people who feel self-important and morally superior to everybody else.  I wouldn't mind betting that - if you could be bothered to do the work - you would probably find that people who shopped in Waitrose were less likely to be kind and helpful to others than those who shopped in Aldi, say.  Same reason.
