Why Support Organic Food?

There are many reasons to support organics and taste may be the least important as it is so subjective. There is a list of 21 reasons to eat like a vegetarian on HealthyHighways.com much of which also apply to organics such as farm worker safety, environmental protection and health.

I started writing about organic food 40 years ago for Organic Gardening magazine (whose little known founder J.I. Rodale is responsible for the popularity of organic food) and never thought I would see organics mainstreamed. Progress happens! We must continue to support organics before the corporations coopt and destroy it.
