Yes, I think this battle of studies over nutritional value gets us nowhere. No one even knows what "organic" means any more. But anyone who's tasted fresh, locally grown food knows the difference from the industrial stuff you get in the typical supermarket. And I think anyone who things about knows instinctually that food grown naturally is better all around--for people and the environment--than stuff that's grown with chemicals that destroy the soil, require huge inputs of petrolium products, and pollute the landscape. We want our food the way nature intended. Diana, so good to hear from you. Yes, I think this battle of studies over nutritional value gets us nowhere. No one even knows what “organic” means any more.

Great new look to your blog!
