I eat a lot of organic food. In fact, about 80% of the food that goes into my body is organic. I cannot tell you how many times I get teased about eating “dirt” from many of my friends, and even my family. A friend recently quizzed me about my reasons for eating organic. I claimed that one of the reasons I opt for organic food is for environmental reasons and my friend gave me the most flabbergasted look on the planet. He flat out refused to believe that organic food is more environmentally sound than “normal” food. This set me on a quest to defend my position that organic food is better for the env

Well, that's one perspective. Even assuming the author's perspective is valid, query whether this justifies the increasing federal intervention into the labeling of "organic" products? Such increased regulation arguably is good for the "big" organic growers but is increasingly a barrier to entry for the small farmer.

Hi Paul,I would love to speak with you about this marketing oputrtpnioy. I think I just signed up under your marketing leg. I happened upon your website by googling Jordan Rubin and the Maker's Diet while surfing the web. I must say, I'm not real sure about the Network Marketing, but, I would like to have a verbal conversation about the purchase of products.Thanks in advance,Jackie Autman

When raising cotevnnional food, one uses pecticieds as compared to natural pesticides with organic (organic less expensive). Chemical fertilizers compared to organic fertilizers (organic natural and less expenisive ie manures etc)How can this justify the higher cost of organic food as compared to commercially grown (less expensive) and having to purchase chemicals etc. Doing artifical pollination as oposed to natural pollination. The list goes on and onl. This boggles my mind. I know from my own garden by not having to spend money on poisons and artificial fertilizers it costs me less to grow vegatables than if I used chemicals and other artificial means.Then why are we being charged more for a vegatable or a piece of meat that has no chemicals that are costly to produce, distribute, and apply as compared to natural herbicides, fertilizers, etc. that are plentiful and less expensive to use?

I think organic foods are absolutely beneficial to the environment since it wont do any harm to the surroundings.
