The WholeFoods Agenda, part I


I've got to hand it to Men's Health on their recent article on Frankenfoods, genetically-modified-organisms, or whatever scary name you want to call them. Its about time that accurate reporting replaces fear and ignorance about this important issue.
I first read about organics and GM-foods in this great book I got from the library, Mendel in the Kitchen. I highly recommend it for its fairly simple language and its engaging, historical narrative of American agriculture. This book has me so convinced that biotech is the right thing, I have trouble believing that this book has been out for 2 years and the myth of that organics as better for us is still strong.
I'm going to repeat some of the points the book in my next post, so stay tuned.
