I have recently been buying fruit and veg at markets, but I keep coming across these dilemmas:

- I know organic costs more to produce, but I can't help wondering if they use that to their advantage and 'jack up' the prices a bit extra (ie people expect it to be expensive, so they add a bit on top)

- I wonder about the legitimacy of some of the stalls, which are clearly making a motza, and in particular if they are paying tax (because if they aren't they are essentially stealing from me!)

- it's even harder than in a supermarket to know the country of origin of produce

I'm really enjoying MooGoo products - will be ordering some more shortly. Am trying to only have MooGoo body care, bicarb & crystal deod, bicarb and vinegar for cleaning. But I still have random creams and other products, and I can't bring myself to just chuck them out - seems so wasteful.

I won't buy garlic from Mexico or China.
I try to avoid Nestle but as others have mentioned, they're everywhere!!
I buy organic if it's not much more
I try to buy Australian owned/made
I will only buy Nimbin cheese (non-animal rennet)
I pay a bit extra for electricity and get 10% renewable energy.

I wonder if the Aldi brands are any better? There's not much info on them. I believe some are made by other brands (eg Aldi baby food = made by Heinz)
