Paleo food delivery

Organic is so huge nowadays especially in 'Murica. It's gone pass the trend stage and now is become a lifestyle.

Good for you guys. I know how hard it is to go organic.

as much as I can but not everything

This.

It's getting easier and easier to choose organic, the price gap is shrinking as well. However it's really impractical to go organic for certain things. Costco actually has a lot of organic stuff.

Interesting stuff. We have eaten a lot of organic for a long time now, but find that many of the organic foods we would like to eat are grown really far away. As an example, with something like apples, there are Ontario grown apples that may not be organic, and New Zealand apples of the same variety that are organic.

Question for those who go organic: Would you buy something organic that was grown and shipped from very far away, or would you buy something non-organic that was locally grown?
 
Non organic doesn't automatically equate to poison. Grown locally.
 
Indeed - hence the question.

LOL, Did I just fubar my answer? How poisonous do local apples need to be to consider buying from 14,000 miles away? Maybe move to a different fruit in the short term? Dunno.
 
I agree. Some foods were meant to be eaten in season and makes no sense why so many buy from so far away.

I buy locally grown organic first, then locally grown non-organic, then non-locally grown organic for very few items. Some days I go into the grocery store and just buy anything I can find that is local and make it work into our meals. It's a shame how little food is locally grown in the larger grocery stores, so I've started to grow my own now.
I stay away from non-local, non-organic.

Back to the Paleo @ eatsavage - looked at their whole menu and that is seriously expensive. As in incredibly overpriced expensive for us common folk - and I know I eat easily as healthy as what they offer, but can do so for about $80/week. I do like that they seem to be very healthy meals, so if you can afford it and don't want to spend time cooking, then it's definitely a great fit. I hope they do well.

A valid question.

Typically I'll go organic if it's from North America. If it is from farther away than that then local is a greater net benefit IMO.
 
Just remember, different regions and different countries have different definitions of organic so you might want to find out how they certify it to be organic before buying it. A lot of them consider grass fed beef to be organic, but that's the north american version of organic. I think US and Canada have different version of organic when it come to meat.

As for Paleo cost. If you did it then it would be cheaper, but remember they have to pay staff, rent, equipment etc... and make a profit!

It puzzles me how an apple grown within 100km of me costs more than one from another country that is 1000+ km away from me.

Subsidies. Organic beef should not be much more expensive than regular beef, but US government subsidizes a lot of food that's fed to non organic cows.
