People had a lot of say about Mary Porter’s column about buying organic food cheaply.

“One easy way to save is to consider choosing organic versions of the products you buy most. Whether that is milk, produce, or personal care products, buying organic will not only help reduce your exposure to harmful synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, but also support a system of agricultural management that is great for the planet.” ---

“We've been planning our menus around our CSA share for six months now and our food budget is roughly half of what it used to be. There are similar local, organic delivery services all over the US, and I can't recommend them highly enough!” --

“Even as a college student, I have found it economically feasible to eat mostly organic and locally. It IS worth it. I am healthier and happier than most of my friends” --
