Can't afford to eat organic?

Here's a recent article about Whole Foods and people complaining that they can't afford to eat organic:

Read some of the reader's comments. They are as entertaining as the article. 

While organic has been shown in most cases to be more nutritiously dense for the product, we are also seeing how labeling "organic" does not always show the full story about how your food was made, packaged, and delivered to your store. There are accusations that organic broccoli was made with a special pesticide not listed on the "pesticide free" list, and has some link to cancer. My own mother sent me a Snopes.com investigated email about how baby carrots are soaked in bleach to keep them looking fresh in the bag. And of course, my all-time favorite comes from China and Vietnam -- using formaldehyde with meat to make the spoiled meat appear fresh and ready for a big bowl of noodles!

With summer over, I miss my neighbor tossing greens, squash, and lettuces on my doorstep. His garden is big enough to feed several families, and between his garden of veggies and ours of fruits, we have had an organic food frenzy. Now, we are being told to be vigilant of the places like Whole Foods.
