I grew up a while back...let's just say I was getting out of grad school and was here before it became Newstoday ;-)
Where I live, Denver, you can get fresh produce delivered or go to a farmer's market. Really, though, any grocery has plenty of organic food.
Like I said, it is a choice. My folks chose to prioritize health over toys. I don't know a single person that has done that these days. Everyone has to have $300+ of monthly charges (cable, phones, etc.). That's a choice, not a necessity. When I grew up there was none of that, we didn't even have a TV!
I don't know, guess it was just how I grew up. I never, not once, thought it was "ok" to eat at McDonald's (I've probably eaten at McDonalds two dozen times in my lifetime, never even been to Wendy's, and not by choice).
So it becomes education, which is largely the responsibility of the parent. Schools play a part, of course, but there is still a choice.
Organic has always been good, non-GMO's have always been better, no preservatives have always been best....I guess I am not sure where all the confusion was/is, besides complacency.
Sure, it should all be better, everything should be better, but that doesn't take all of the responsibility off of the parent (or individual).
