Comments on: It’s official: organics are healthier http://foodpluspolitics.com/2007/10/28/its-official-organics-are-healthier/ A lot of chatter about food ( plus a little about politics ) Tue, 02 Dec 2008 01:33:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: ellaella http://foodpluspolitics.com/2007/10/28/its-official-organics-are-healthier/#comment-580 ellaella Mon, 29 Oct 2007 00:18:23 +0000 http://foodpluspolitics.com/2007/10/28/its-official-organics-are-healthier/#comment-580 You're very welcome. I was elated to see this in the London Times last night because it's such an important study and conclusion and, with the accompanying opinion piece, it has the imprimateur of one of the world's most important newspapers. By contrast, a few months ago I posted about a Newsweek online-only piece about strategies for affordable organic shopping; that link has now expired. The piece still turns up in a search on MSNBC but the link leads to something else entirely. When will we -- as a nation -- finally get it with respect to organics, sustainable agriculture, local farmers? You’re very welcome.

When will we — as a nation — finally get it with respect to organics, sustainable agriculture, local farmers?

I have been committed to organic food for almost two decades, and I can taste the difference, feel the difference, see the difference both in the food and in how I feel when I choose organic. There are times when I have opted for non-organic--either because of my schedule or budget--and I always regret it. Organic: better for you, better for the planet. Glad this study in consistent with my personal experience. Important research, and a very important entry in From Scratch. Thanks again. Thanks for posting this.
