RALEIGH, N.C. – For the past three years, American consumers have been on a shopping diet. They cut nonessentials from their shopping lists. They’ve made do. They’ve thought twice before buying.

Interesting story. I know I personally tend to buy the organic products where I can. Though, I’ll say I sometimes buy local non-organic where it’s available over trucked in organics. So it’s really a double sided question.
