An Onion Rant

Allow me a moment to get something off my chest. Today at the grocery store, I had two options for yellow onions.

- Option #1: organic USA onions for 89 cents/lb (3 pound bag)
- Option #2: regular onions imported from Peru on sale for 68 cents/lb.

Personally, I'll spend the extra 20 cents to support the onion farmer in my backyard that has made the choice not to poison the ground and my onion-eating family with chemicals. I grabbed my bag of organic onions, but unfortunately, it appeared that the imported onions were the hot seller.

I wish people would think for two seconds about the repercussions of their purchases. Lowest price doesn't always mean highest value.
