Locally Grown Foods vs Corporate Interests??

A new book, Organic Inc., ventures into just the same territory that I've been wanting to write about for a while now -- what happened to our organic food???

Organic, Inc. is not exactly the "story of food" but it truly is the tale of two different visions for how food is produced and made available to consumers. One (local biodynamic farming) is sustainable; the other (multinational, corporate agribusiness) is not.



Fromartz carefully traces how we got where we are, without suggesting where we will go in the future. Fromartz has a journalist background and the soul of a detective, unraveling the murky trails of what happened to the original organic food movement, before you could buy frozen organic meals in the supermarket like you can today.

If you care about what you eat, how it got to you, and whether you will be able to find more like it tomorrow, you should read this book, think about what it means, and DO something about what you believe.

Whatever we collectively choose to do about the issue of how our food is produced -- and let's face it, this is truly a consumer-driven issue -- will determine how healthy we and our future generations will be.

I still believe eating well is possible, affordable, and a basic human right. I hope we keep it that way!

Yours for extraordinary dining -- for everyone,

Nancy
