Are you a label conscious, ethical, organic shopper?
If you want to know, here's a little simple quiz for you.
1. Do you decorate your trolley with Rainforest Alliance, Fair Trade and Soil Association labelled products?
a) yes always, my shopping saves the planet
b) maybe, depends who's looking
c) never, it's too bleeding expensive and a rip off
2. Do you make a pont of checking for the Soil Association label?
a) as a matter of course (I only buy products with it on)
b) why would I need a Soil Association label, is this the gardening centre?
c) oh god never, it's far too pricey
If you answered yes to c) that means you're a canny bargain hunter, yes to b) means you're absolutely normal and yes to a) means you are a total shopping freak suffering from organorexia like me.
I spend an inordinate amount on organic produce and even though the supermarkets are pretty good, it does irk me that organic costs more but I wouldn't trade down on many items, especially milk, meat, vegetables and eggs.
If we're caught short of milk and I can only get non organic, standard pasteurised, I'll pass - even if we have to have dry cereal and black tea for breakfast. And that's why I've coined this malaise organorexia.
It's by no means life threatening but it's very inconvenient at times. And I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking, if it's not organic, I'll go without.
