Aw, I love Kate! She looks good & I'm glad she's involved w/this...

I'd love to eat organic, but my budget says no.

Important to note the distinction between "being green" and eating organic... not everyone agrees that organic farming is better for the environment. Perhaps the most eminent critic of organic farming is Norman Borlaug, the father of the “green revolution”, winner of the Nobel peace prize and an outspoken advocate of the use of synthetic fertilisers to increase crop yields. He claims the idea that organic farming is better for the environment is “ridiculous” because organic farming produces lower yields and therefore requires more land under cultivation to produce the same amount of food.

just some food for thought...

she eats?

aka Daria - that was what I was going to say!!!

She looks pretty here.

me too....does she eat????

haha my first thought was "she eats?" also.

Is she going to help me with my letter writing to my grocery stories in my neighborhood that do not stock organic items.

why is she saying i have to eat organic? usually it's a worse choice for the enviroment bcause of the miles the produce travelled... i always drink organic milk, but that's it really. when i have more money i'll eat more of course, but that's only because i want to pampare myself, not for any other reason.

I would eat organic if it didn't cost about 3 times what traditional food does. I do buy organic free trade coffee though...for whatever reason, it's cheaper than the conventional stuff at my grocery store.

Organic - derived from plant and animal matter; yes I eat organic every day and have since birth.

I'd love to eat organic all the time, but like others have mentioned, the cost of doing so makes it rather difficult for those of us with budgets. However, I do have an organic vegetable garden in my backyard, and love it!
I can't believe that someone who is supposed to be a father of the green revolution would argue for synthetic fertilizers. All of those synthetic fertilizers find their way into our groundwater, and ultimately our drinking water. May make for a larger harvest, but I prefer to not be slowly poisoned with fertilizers.
