"When Eating Organic Was Totally Uncool”

Its quite ironic how nowadays people pay so much out of pocket for organic foods, and like Lo states, the industry has grown to be worth over $25 billion, yet she as a child relied on organic food and she personally with her family had to hand grow their own foods and tend to their on gardens as means of survival. She grew up hiding from friends as she would be embarrassed it others found out they had to eat organic and relied on their own personal method of growing foods and eating, yet now its become quite popular and almost like a trend. She also states. "And, irony of ironies, now people’s food stamps can’t even cover the costs of organic and local produce at our markets. " This is quite funny in a way as it is actually costly to obtain food of the quality Lo had access to growing up all along. It was a necessity for her, but now is seen as a luxury by many others.
