Many of us are concerned about the quality of our food. We worry about pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, over processing, and lack of freshness. In response, many people are seeking new sources for their food — stores that specialize in organic foods and farms that will grow foods according to special preferences.
This section will cover organic food in Northeast Ohio.

Pollan and Kingslover on food
Susan Miller Says:Here's an interesting article about Michael Pollan as his new book "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto" launches: What would Michael Pollan Eat? from the SF Chronicle. Here's Pollan on NPR.
I just finished reading Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable Miracle -- great read.
What we eat in a week
Marc Lefkowitz Says:As I continue to gain insight into where and how my food is produced and why that matters to the earth and my health, Michael Pollan is a must read. I'm especially interested in his "Manifesto" which seems to focus on positive steps we can take to eat well.
In that vein, I was sent this email (available somehow as a web link) that has pictures of nine families from around the world with all the food they eat in one week and the cost. It's enlightening to see how much processed food and corn starch the "Western" family consumes.
demand outstrips supply
Susan Miller Says:Intersting news from NY Times on organic food market here.
Interested in food issues? Check out this film from a local library.
Can't wait for the list of organic farmers here in Northeast Ohio and Whole Foods which will open at Cedar and Warrensville soon...
NYTimes light touch on organic food
Susan Miller Says:Five Easy Ways to Go Organic in the Times today scratches the surface via one guy's research. It is a broader deeper subject as evidenced by the comments that follow the light touch the NYTimes applies.
The bigger question I believe is; "how do we make farming "go organic"?
How many years has it been since Silent Spring was published?
Wal-Mart enters so called "organic" food market
Susan Miller Says:Read about it here.
Michael Pollan in his book The Omnivore's Dilemma, asks a series of interesting questions about our food supply.
