More on Organics

To follow up a previous post on organics and local food, here is a great video (beyond the fact that the interviewer is lisping libertarian hater Jacob Weisberg) on renowend chef Dan Barber and his feelings about organics:



My feelings are largely the same as his, but I am a little skeptical about pesticides "deadening" the soil. Every analysis of organic vs. non-organic food has shown no difference in nutritional content. What it really comes down to is taste - the carrot from the farmer down the road growing a special variety is going to taste better than the supermarket commercial variety organic carrot, whether or not it is technically "organic."
