The good thing about buying local is that you can talk to the farmers and find out about their growing methods and even visit their farms.<BR/><BR/>I'm also disturbed about the watering down of organic standards since big business has gotten involved. Many so-called organic products may have non-organic and even synthetic additives.<BR/><BR/>Some organic dairy producers like Horizon are actually in violation of organic rules because they don't allow their cows access to pasture.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08434187442821545626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19843025.post-87491931308604885292007-11-04T05:52:00.000-08:002007-11-04T05:52:00.000-08:00I hate to pay the high price for organic food too,...I hate to pay the high price for organic food too, but I do it for my family's health. What is the cost in the long run if we don't? Alas, I don't eat local unless its organic. Local organic is my ideal, but if local won't (or in some cases can't) provide organic, I'll buy shipped organic. I like to think this protects us from GMO's too....Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08330687880826801461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19843025.post-17275767223588509092007-11-02T14:07:00.000-07:002007-11-02T14:07:00.000-07:00'For whatever reason'?!
