When Ionesco and I both suggested that a wonderful way to help child slaves and children living in poverty would be to eat organic sugar, coffee and chocolate, I didn't see all the conservatives jumping in, but perhaps everyone was so busy going to to natural foods store to buy these items they didn't have a chance to post. This is a way to help millions of children. I was one of the very early customers of Walnut Acres, which as far as the East coast is concerned was probably the most successful of the early organic food producers. But the reality is, that the way to help child slaves and children living in poverty would probably be not to eat coffee, chocolate, and sugar at all. If we all tried to eat only organic foods, first a lot of people would starve because we just can't produce organic foods in sufficient quantity to feed the planet, and second, either there would need to be a lot more child slaves or the price of food would go up so much that a number of people would be unable to buy enough food to live on, because generally organic foods are more labor intensive and expensive to produce. It's that damn law of unintended consequences.
