You know what side of the fence I'm on, but now that "organic" is owned and perpetuated by big business, I agree, there probably is no difference in quality and nutrition.
Big business can ruin something good. Direct marketing to the consumer is a good way to save farms and farmland, why should we try to feed the world. Let the consumer look the farmer in the eye and buy the product - if it's not any good, then the farmer isn't doing his job. Period. We have sold at farmers markets right along side conventional farmers. There is enough customers to go around for everyone, not everybody has to be organic to be successful at farming. There where no divisive comments being thrown about - just farmers selling their wares to the people who want to buy them.
Dr. Etherton, thanks so much for visiting and taking a moment to comment. I much enjoy your blog and read it whenever you update
Nita, I think your comment says it all. There is room for and a need for all kinds of production.
I just hope the hungry public realizes that they are not going to be killed if they don't pay twice the price for organic stuff raised by a company like Horizon or Land O Lakes.
