What is interesting about this article is how there is no consideration whatsoever for the environment or all the people involved in the production of any food. As if there is absolutely no difference in the effects of production methods on the land, air, water, neighborhood or the folks who work the land. It saddens me that still the main entry way for folks to become organic buyers is the self serving worry about residues for their bodies or their childrens.
Great points, Ellen! Couldn’t agree more, though I’d add that any entry is probably a good entry, and that moving from a “1 to a 2” is more natural/comfortable than moving from a “1 to a 10” if you take my meaning.
More specifically, addressing your well-articulated concerns, I’m currently at work (debuts Sept 8) on a new book to address those very concerns :^)
Growing Tomorrow? Is this the book that was going to be the Farmer in the Kitchen? I like this title (Growing Tomorrow) much better! Is the one coming out in Sep a *third* book?
Haha, yes, a title change. More news coming soon!
