(What does "organic" actually mean, anyway?) The local food movement has fit our sensibilities and taste buds much better than the Whole Foods thing. (Speaking of which, you might want to check out this article on the <A HREF="http://www.mindfully.org/Food/Organic-Industrial-Complex.htm" REL="nofollow">"Organic-Industrial Complex"</A>--it makes your point that the real problem is mass production and mass shipping, which are practices which big-time organic producers and marketers like Whole Foods engage in as much as anybody else.)Russell Arben Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366800726360134194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907752.post-91584598229846001342008-05-22T11:00:00.000-05:002008-05-22T11:00:00.000-05:00This sounds great, Russel.

I'm not terribly moved by organic food (as such) as I am by local stuff, and I don't know if I can make any claims about health, but I know that food that is locally grown and fresh (or at least allowed to grow all the way) pretty much always _tastes better_, and that's reason enough for me to buy it when I can. (I'd rather buy locally grown non-organic stuff at the farmer's market than organic mass-produced stuff shipped long ways from Whole Foods, for example.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
