1. Are you more likely to buy something as a whole or in a single portion for personal consumption? # 1. Are you more likely to buy something if it’s organic, even if it’s slightly more expensive than an un-organic version? @ 1. What is your favourite type of fruit? # It really depends what the fruit is being used for. I like eating citrus fruits and drinking their juice, but berries are best in a pavlova or pie IMO. ---

> [@Ortonia](#): > > 1. Are you more likely to buy something as a whole or in a single portion for personal consumption? Depends on what it is and how big it is. I’m not likely to buy a whole cow from the butcher’s! Freezer space, cabinet space, etc., is a major consideration. But single portions are generally overpriced for the amount of food you get. > [@](#): > > 1. Are you more likely to buy something if it’s organic, even if it’s slightly more expensive than an un-organic version? I make a policy of never eating inorganic food 🙂 All joking aside, it depends on what the term means applied to that particular food, and what chemicals were used in what manners on the “non-organic” foods and whether or not it makes a difference to me. > [@](#): > > 1. What is your favourite type of fruit? # - Citrus fruits = limes to be precise ---

> [@Ortonia](#): > > 1. Are you more likely to buy something as a whole or in a single portion for personal consumption? Single portion. When I buy large containers of stuff, they tend to get moldy before I finish them. > [@](#): > > 1. Are you more likely to buy something if it’s organic, even if it’s slightly more expensive than an un-organic version? No. I like preservatives and other additives; they make food last longer and taste better. > [@](#): > > 1. What is your favourite type of fruit? Citrus. All those symbols are a gag, right? They remind me of Bruno from the Ali G show, insisting that his questions be answered with “ach, ja” or “that’s a nicht-nicht”. ---

1. I don’t eat processed food or prepared food, so it doesn’t apply. 2. I buy organic if it’s available. 3. Melons This is just some project for class that you really don’t care about right? ---
