A study shown in the Journal of Social Psychological and Personality Science shows that people eating organic foods tend to be more judgemental. Study author Kendall Eskine, assistant professor of the department of psychological sciences at Loyola University in New Orleans, said "There’s a line of research showing that when people can pat themselves on the back for their moral behavior, they can become self-righteous." This means people who are known for doing good can cause a person to be conceited and boastful about it, such as eating foods without harmful chemicals. Participants in the lab were put into three groups. Each group was shown pictures, one group organic foods, second "comfort foods" such as cookies and soda, then additionally non-organic, healthy foods, like rice and oatmeal. Finally, the groups were told to say how much time they would give up the help someone and to reflect fake scenes. The group shown the organic foods was willing to give up less time assisting someone than the other groups, make the hypothesis possibly true. 
I believe the lab is logical becuase the hypothesis seems reasonable and truthful. Boasting does come out of something positive, like recieving a good grade or owning something no one else has. However, I think everyone judges someone at least once, becuase humans want to overpower someone, resulting in looking down at a person in a mean way. I think the lab is true, but I don't think organic foods is the cause to all cases.
