Organic food

  • Zane Zimmerman, Second year student, science

    I definitely eat it. It’s supposed to be better for you. Organics should mean no chemical boosting stuff, that sort of jazz.

  • Ashley Lazar, First year student, psychology

    I do not. I’d be interested because obviously with global warming and even the economy and the state that it’s in … if we supported local farmers who produce things, that would help.

  • Anna Amarante, First year student, science

    No. I like fatty foods, I like protein. I don’t eat vegetables.

  • Aida Gregorio, Orange Julius and Extra Foods employee

    Of course I eat organic food. I think they are safer than non-organic, in terms of chemicals.

  • Donnie Didychuk, Plumber and gas fitter

    I eat all kinds of food. I’m not fussy. I’d eat it if it was in my home town. Our one grocery store is closed right now… You can’t buy nothing out of the corner store. I imagine that people further north than me have got it worse.

  • Alex Paterson, Masters student, aboriginal governance

    Sometimes, when it’s not exorbitantly expensive, which it usually is. I’m cynical of all food even if it’s organic because the organic label – there’s no standard for it, but I’m wishfully thinking that it’s better than non-organic food.
