You missed **Bricker** ’s thread on organic food. It turns out that eating organic food isn’t so liberal anymore.

> Eh. [A recent Gallup poll](http://www.gallup.com/poll/174524/forty-five-percent-americans-seek-organic-foods.aspx) found that 48% of Democrats “actively try to include” organic foods in their diet, versus 40% of Republicans. So, something of a partisan difference, I would say, but hardly a polarizing issue. The same poll shows household income predicts organic choices about as much (49% of those making over $75K eat organic, v. 42% of those making uncer $30K), and age bracket even more (53% of those 18-29 eat organic, v. 33% of those 65+).

Those Whole Foods jokes have lost their zing. Guys like you are messing up the stats. 😛
