Whenever I'm in supermarkets, the only people in the organics section
are white people. In the UK, is it mostly white/caucasian people who consume
organics? Where's the proof? Why do you think it is? Or do I just
happen to live in a very white area...

I think you may be right.  Since I (Caucasian) don't bother about
organic foods, I think the interest in them is driven by reports and
advertising in media that most non-Causcasians may not pay attention
to:  up-market magazines and newspapers and radio/tv programmes  - a
socio-economic factor.  The written information sources are a little
more expensive, and the organic foods are too.
Since I don't know what is on the shelves, I can only pose the
question:  Are the organic foods offered mainly appropriate for
Britisch style cooking; are they packaged to appeal to mothers of
ruddy cheeked blond youngsters?

I've actually been looking through a bunch of journal articles- and
they mention income, where they live, environmental awareness, and a
bunch of other socio-demographic stuff- but they never seem to mention
ethnicity or race... in the UK or US...

'Ethnic' shoppers tend to go to 'ethnic' shops

Sweet potato or bunches of corriander are unlikely to be Monsanto modified.
- also the clients are are likely to be suspicious of overly perfect produce.
  (which explains why, in a sort of double think, a lot of organic
stuff looks deformed)

'Ethnic' shoppers also tend to go to markets, and they are darn picky
about the produce - personally I always watch them, a good way of
picking up tips.

Mostly things taste better if they have not been b*ggered about with.

Sniff out your local allotments, you'll find a curious mix.
- an interesting question

Julitxma,
Nice that you mentioned the journals, kind of underlines my point.  :)

Yes, "they mention ..." all those things, and although it isn't
politically correct to say so, those factors in reality parallel
stratifications by ethnicity or race in many cases  - with all sorts
of exceptions both ways, of course.
Just to make a couple of examples with no intention to reflect on
anyone or any group:  emmigrants from the Commonwealth who have
studied at a UK university;  British natives who don't have "O
levels".

IF your supermarket sells organics, it says something about the
neighbourhood.  A store of the same chain in ...(pick an area) may not
offer any organics.

My wife says to be careful about some organic foods.  Seems like (her
excuse) that's what brings the meal worms into her larder. ;)

Cheers, Myoarin

PS;  Juli, this is an aside to Freddy:
Do you really go shopping?  I don't, unless the better half drags me
along, which abuses her of the idea for a few weeks.  Very "infra-dig"

@Myoarin

Since the demise of my lass, I do very little shopping.
Prior to that I used to do most of it
- and preferred doing it on my own - much snappier

I'm actually quite interested in retail
- my first job was tangentially involved in it

You are spot on about the produce indicating the type of clientele
- also I've heard that the UK major supermarkets spy on each other

Freddy,
Sorry to hear about your lass.  Maybe I should appreciate a little
more being dragged along for the grocery shopping.  But I actually did
some today on request:  almonds, splitters and slices, wine and cider.
 That is about as much as I can be trusted to get by myself.  Forgot
to check the organic food section.
Take care, and regards, Myo

Sounds like you covered the essentials :)

Best thing is to go at quite times, that way it is easier not to lose each other.

It would be interesting to see the organic section in a German supermarket
- also to quietly watch who is shopping there

Regards

For decades in Germany, there have been "Reformhaus" stores (chain or
franchise?) that sell more or less organic food, including those less
than perfect fruits.  For the last 20-25 years, there are "bio" green
grocers whose products are all supposed to be unsprayed, etc., etc. 
Who buys there?  Dunno, but not the many foreigners, I believe, who
like many natives in my up-market town buy from the Turkish and Greek
grocers, as well as from the fewer remaining German ones.

As to losing her: well, sometimes I have to remember to note the
latest hair tone, and remember not to seek with an outdated visual
image. ;)
I really lost her once in Sydney.  She had actually gone ahead on the
ferry, expecting that she could write postcards at the caf' on the
pier in Mosman, but it was closed in the late pm.
Nuff stuff,  :)  Myoarin
