People who buy organics faithfully believe in eating food produced without pesticides in an environmentally friendly manner. However, a new study claims that people who tend to buy organics often act like jerks.

The study showed three groups of people different photos of foods. One group was shown organic food, the second was shown comfort foods such as cookies and brownies, and the third group was shown neutral foods such as oatmeal and mustard. Although the study was small, about 60 people, the results showed that when people buy organics, they tend to feel morally superior. As a result, it is inferred that these people feel less inclined to behave ethically in other areas of their life.

The non-GM meal produced means the company receives a premium for its product.
