This list has done so well at keeping those horrible politics out!

Steve, how is it politics to talk up better quality?

While some other portions of Paula's post might conceivably have been taken as political, at least if you consider discussion of pesticides as political, I don't see how the portion that you quoted is political.

I think all of us should be striving to produce high quality produce; by whatever definition of that the particular farmer chooses to use. And, yes, I think we should be paid for this. In all other areas of purchase, people expect to pay more for better quality. Why shouldn't they for better food?
