Eating Better than Organic

A quick break from the childhood nutrition series, then back to that. I had to post an update on the following. Time magazine's cover article (COVER!) is on the issue of eating local versus big organic. While it's nice to see the mainstream media embracing the issue, it's pretty amazing to see it on the cover of Time.

As an added bonus, the article mentions (and links to online) the web site I have been participating on as an author, www.eatlocalchallenge.com. This is the second time the site has had a mention in the news magazine, but the first cover story.

My sincere congrats to Jen at lifebeginsat30.com (love the url!) who started the eatlocalchallenge and found all of us authors hanging out in various blogs.

It's a good day for all of us locavores!

Well, times have changed. Tofu was only available at the coop or healthfood store. Today, Tofu, tempe, organic vegetables, dairy and meat are at the supermarket. Voting with dollars really works.

One still needs the coop for organic whole grain and oil...

Better and better.

I think there are more good changes to come. I feel like we are standing on the edge of a great movement to bring our food industry and practices back to more center. I hope so, I surely do. Even if it never happens at the top level, there will be more options at my local level from all of this. It's good, really good.

My husband is adamant about eating organic foods. Thanks for the links and information. I will share it with him as well !

I approve of seeking out local produce. Here is central Virginia it has the added benefit of allowing farming people to afford to keep land in farming. Otherwise they would all sell out to home developers.

usually not the Doubting Thomas, the thought appears...maybe big business has not yet caught the drift and there might be a back lash..I hope not, sustainable agriculture has been a passion with lots of chefs and the drive for locally grown has been fruitful, there is a love affair between chefs and local farmers that iks admirable...Alice WAters and many others have provided us with options and chpices to revel in....no doubt there iks still lots of work to be done for years to come to assure the mosst wonderful
supply of farmers markets and the infinite varieties of all plant food that Big Business Agriculture scorn. Don't forget the few apple varieties that are at the market out hundreds of varieties that used to be vailable.
