Have been in the Homescan Shopping survey now almost a decade and our own household's recent *apparent* decline in organic products is less due to not purchasing, but more to the fact that we have discovered the SLO-food (sustainable, LOCAL, organic) movement. It's better produce and products with NO externalized or hidden costs. Of course, now that we ARE buying more locally grown produce and products, much of it handmade and minimally processed, it has NO bar codes to scan! Sure there are those cutting back on the organics, but in our home, this is not the case - it just looks that way from the data we no longer can send. Deb. Hrmmm.
