ASllen,
There is no "erroneous" thinking, local is better when it is close, low or
no spray and done as natural as possible. I will put up ANY of my
hydroponic produce against any certified organic to let a food nutritionist
determine food value and toxins. Just because you get a certificate does
not mean your food is better, and the people in the study are realizing
that.
Good food is good food without the US government getting involved.

I believe it is this erroneous thinking that these people are hoping
to educate the public through. (In our experience, the public already
assciates 'local' so totally wiht 'organic' that they are not
answering the question as it is asked, thinking that all local food
is organic, they don't want to go out of their way for imported (from
California) organic. ) I Just saw Pollan on a live stream from a MD
university. He said a couple of different ways 'Organic junk food is
still junk food' "The word 'organic' is not a blessing for our
health, it's just less toxins put into us and into our environment.'
and so on.
