> some can't ever put enough value on being able to feel smug and superior towards poorer people and less well educated this feels like a disingenuous categorization to me. there are sustainability, ethical, supply chain, and other environmental considerations that impact why one might choose organic food. i don’t always, but am lucky to have the budgeting flexibility to choose fancy single-origin coffee or other things with “perceived value” it feels that comments like this betray a desire to look down on others more transparently than choosing to shop at Whole Foods does
