If you tell me something is "environment friendly", I will immediately doubt the product quality. In my head, if your product was good by itself, you wouldn't try to emotionally guilt me into "going green".

- jhrmnn 7y agoIs there any credence to this, or is it just in your head? There is a lot that goes into earning the organic label from regulators, and it‘s highly correlated with doing things slowly, the old-fashioned way. So the only way you can beat non-organic produce is with quality.

So the only way you can beat non-organic produce is with quality. This sentence doesn't seem to be supported by the sentence before it, unless there's an assumption that slower and more old-fashioned methods produce higher quality products -- an assumption that seems questionable, at least.
- mikeash 7y agoLots of people buy organic on principle, so those are automatic customers regardless of quality. Many other people buy organic for quality, but that doesn’t actually require quality, merely the perception of it. For a lot of people, the “organic” label is enough to create that perception.
- spodek 7y agoNobody can make you feel guilty. Perhaps you mean they make you feel more aware of the guilt you already feel.
- rat9988 7y agoWhat if you had a product that is good by itself and environment friendly? You should hide the latter?
- mikestew 7y agoIn my head... This “guilt” you think someone is trying to lay on you? Yeah, that’s in your head, too. No one actually said that.
