Organic Eating: Health Or Hype?

Post by Riddick » 02-06-2016 06:22 PM

Over half of U.S. families are buying more organic products than a year ago, and the country as a whole is shipping more than $500 million in organic products abroad. Internationally, Denmark is advancing an "ambitious" plan to double organic farming, while domestic states such as Kentucky are making efforts to boost both organic production and consumption.

At the same time, the rest of the world is wondering if the food — which retails at prices significantly higher than conventional food — is worth the price, or is even as nutritious as it claims to be. FULL STORY

Local grocers are the best, especially if you build a relationship with them and know their sources.

When i finally move up north, a lot of food will be obtained via barter from locals.
