As it turns out, new research has determined that a judgmental attitude may just go hand in hand with exposure to organic foods. In fact, a new study published this week in the journal of Social Psychological and Personality Science, has found that organic food may just make people act a bit like jerks.

They have to be jerks in the first place to pay twice the price of the price of regular produce for half the quality.
Correlation is not causation. In this case, Occam’s Razor indicates that they were jackasses first.
Right. The conclusions put the cart before the horse here.
I'd say social networking via the Internet vs. real life interactions might be more of cause than eating organic food.
That and the fact that the world is just getting meaner....
Seems Arugula and Artichokes make people top of the list SNOBS too.. :)
Well, yesterday I cooked 2 artichoke and had a salad with arugula. I love that bitter taste in the salad. I am not a snob. LOL.
Horsepuckey, as my dad would say. I’m a Constitutional conservative. I buy organic milk so my kids don’t get pumped full of more hormones and crap. I buy organic produce mostly from Kroger and it’s pretty darned cheap. I’m not a jerk (well not due to the fact that I like organics, anyway). But I certainly see some on this thread.
A person has to be ignorant and gullible to think ‘organic’ is somehow a better product.
Or is it that only jerks eat organic food and brag about it?
Ignorant and gullible to think that say chicken that isn’t fed a steady diet of estrogen is a better, more healthy product? I don’t think so. Quite, the opposite. I’d wager money that we’ll learn that the hormones fed to our livestock are even more detrimental to our health than we now suspect.
