permaculture

[Steve Diver <steved@ipa.net>]

My quote is not so glamerous but at least its pithy.  
It was part of a longer dialogue to help orient the writer 
to many of those key studies.  It's true that organic is 
geocentric and farmers in the Heartland have a tough 
row to hoe compared to their West Coast cousins.

And she didn't mention that a favorable climate, greatly
reduced pest pressures, and irrigation districts
are part of the skewed picture. 

Regardless it's a good article and provides a broad
perspective of studies that point towards the "many"
health benefits of organically grown foods.
