Video: Can I afford Organic?

Some of us yearn to go organic, yet get bogged down by the perception of organic fruits and vegetables being way too expensive and hard to afford.

In this 95 second video 'Can I afford organic fruits and vegetables', we try to make a quick calculation of how affordable organic fresh foods really are. We then compare the differential to some of our regular spends so we have a perspective of how big the extra amount we spend really is.

Are organic foods really unaffordable when you take into account the health benefits safe foods could have on you and your loved ones? We realize in fact, many times we are very price conscious when it comes to fruits and vegetables, even though the real cost differential is only marginal. Especially at NaturePinks, our endeavour is to make organic food available at as close to regular food prices as feasible.
