All my Organic Food keeps going bad

Yeah I don't think Organic food is all its cracked up to be. It might be healthier, but it ain't worth a shit if you cant eat it.
A new "Fresh Market" store opened up here in Aiken selling mostly (high priced) organic food. So I boycotted Walmart and started buying from there. My damn bread and lunch meat went bad in just over a week. As in growing green shit on it. Giving them the benefit of the doubt I bought from them again. Same thing. Bread went bad in 5 days, fruit started becoming uneatable in 3.
Now I don't support chemicals in food, but a little BHT preservative never hurt anyone. There is a reason its put in food, and its not to poison you for the new world order.

Fully organic bread should last around 5 days. About the fruits - maybe they aren't that fresh to begin with. This is the main problem with highly priced organic crops - they don't sell much and thus don't refresh the stock often enough.
If you'r buying organic for health benefits you are just wasting your money if it isn't fresh. A lot of crops are stored for weeks to months after harvest and by the time they reach the store they lost most of the vitamins and anti-oxidants. Except for the insecticides and such, that could be washed off with water to almost nothing I don't see a reason organic crops would worth the money oven conventional crops 2+ weeks after harvest.
When buying heirloom veggies and fruits they SHOULD go bad MUCH quicker than conventionally grown crops as they weren't bred for long shelf life as the market requires today.

I really don't understand the high price of it? I guess its for "well to do" people. I'll just stick with McDonalds and Monsanto corn.

I buy deli meat from regular grocery store and it usually lasts about a week before it starts getting an odd smell. We usually buy it on Sunday and have eaten it by Friday.

You buy organic food with no chemicals or preservatives, then expect it to last as long as food WITH preservatives?

There's this whole thing called "preserving food". It's what people used to do before they started pumping all our food full of preservative chemicals.

One of the main reasons for the high price of organic foods is that farmers have to pay ridiculous sums of money to become certified as organic.

Lol this thread is quite condescending.
If organic food had a long shelf life,, the study of preservatives and awareness of salt would have never developed to the state it is today.

you expect the government to care that people are eating organically? that's faggy
all the government cares about is saving money and power. non-organic foods are cheap to produce and cheap to distribute
also if everyone was healthy enough to use their bodies and minds fully, by having a diet free of poisonous foods, they might wake up and realize how badly the government has been fucking them over

Uhh so don't shop there if you can't eat it that quick. Or ...you could just not buy that much food. Some of us go grocery shopping 2x-3x a week to buy fresh vegetables, fruit, meat, etc. to cook with for the next two days and the fridge has some basics that don't go bad in 3-5 days. You could also...freeze your bread and then it wouldn't go bad. Really here the situation is you were incompetent in buying your food and had some expectations of the way food should rot and your expectations weren't met so now you are a butt hurt and trying to find something wrong with nature. Except, there isn't. It's just your false expectations and some pride shining through.
