We Are What We Eat My current nightstand reading well reviewed by Lisa Hamilton. If people read Wendell Berry I would have to find a new job (probably in farming which would suit me fine).

When buying a used book of Wendell Berry's essays, it can be hard to find one free of furious underlining and ecstatic marginalia. So it was a treat to receive a pristine copy of "Bringing It to the Table," a new collection of his past writings on farming and food.

Saw Wendell Berry and Michael Pollan at CIty Arts and lectures recently. One of the many interesting things they discussed was the idea of urban agrariansm-how city dwellers can get involved with growing food in community gardens, on rooftops or in backyards as a way of developing a more sustainable food system.

We Are What We Eat I hear a lot of people say "Local is more important than Organic" which is only true if you have access. Unfortunately the market makers are using this to their advantage. Be careful what you ask for, divided we fall.

Indeed. We need to protect and maintain all of these terms for the place that they hold. Labels are irrelevant if you grow your own or actually know the farmer. My two main sources at home are not certified organic but when I'm staying in some regional outpost I'm glad I have the option of USDA Organic to minimize our exposure and attempt to support a system that I want to encourage. As George Siemon of Organic Valley says, mass produced Organic food should be the bottom of the food pyramid.

The local farmer I use is not labeled organic, but I know them. They give me my raw milk and my turkey each year. And their vegetables you can tell are unadulterated with pesticides. I've grown my own before (I don't have space now, as I live in a downtown loft), and they taste even better than mine. It's like consuming the foods of the gods.

We Are What We Eat Consumers trust "All Natural" more than "Organic" so Horizon (Dean) is going to sell them Conventional milk labeled "All Natural." Give the people what they want, I guess. What a great stroke of market leadership (can you smell the sarcasm?)

American consumers believe that a ‘natural’ label claim is a better indicator of an eco-friendly product than ‘organic’, according to a new survey from advertising firm the Shelton Group.
