There's also the issue of trying to buy local food to support farming in my area, but this isn't necessarily organic. Fruit and veg I tend to buy a mix of organic and non-organic depending on how I use the food simply because I can't afford to only buy organic food.
But what I'm really getting at is the trend around people who will buy organic while it is the done thing and popular, but will cut organic food out first when it comes to having to cut costs. There are other things I buy/do that I would choose to cut down on before I'd resort to cutting out organic food.
So I'm wondering how entrenched that organic buying is elsewhere in Europe because British trends seem to suggest that a significant enough proportion of people buying organic food do so for superficial reasons, hence it gets the chop quickly when the pennies are scarce. Ad astra per aspera

Your situation. I'm not an expert but I've heard the old wife's tale that some lactose intolerance can be overcome, lactase being an inducible enzyme system. What's your situation, if I'm not being too personal? Now where's the fun in that! - Megatron
You can get lactase tablets (which I'd thought the reference was to) that are meant to be eaten when you have dairy and apparently it magically breaks all the lactose down. But people use it as an excuse to overindulge on creamy, buttery dairy packed stuff and wonder why it hasn't worked. Ad astra per aspera
