"Oh, yum. Peanut Brittle!" I was excited.
"Yes," he replied, "And do you like organic?"
Without thinking about the fact that I was at a Farmers Market and that organic is really cool among people there, I replied "Oh I don't really care about organic so much."
dead silence
I'm sure he contemplated kicking me out of the market, but realized he didn't have authority to do that. His mind was racing with what to say. I sat there stunned, wishing I hadn't been so blatantly honest. Finally the man cut the silence with, "Uh, well, you can give it a try."
"Thanks," I took the peanut brittle and walked quickly away. I had just committed social suicide.
But, I still don't think having organic PEANUT BRITTLE makes it healthy. Trendy, maybe. Healthy, no.
