Organic Food Shortage Hits US


Organic and cage free eggs are becoming popular to the point that some major grocery chains are reporting shortages.


A New Jersey ShopRite recently posted a sign saying the short supply was industry-wide and was due to increased demand and limited availability.


A Colorado blogger also snapped a picture in a Safeway store referencing a nationwide shortage of specialty and organic eggs.


This is actually a good thing because it shows people are starting to eat better now.  Industry analysts estimate that U.S. organic food sales were $28 billion in 2012 (over 4 percent of total at-home food sales), up 11 percent from 2011.  -Mort
