Organic food the real story
I just finished my article titled Organic Food The Real Story. I learned a bunch while doing research for the article. And I thought I already knew a bunch, what a surprise. I am not sure where the article will appear but I have a few possibilites in mind. Thanks to Lee Silver (molecular biologist, author) for the motivation to write this article.
Organic versus Conventional

Steiner laid the groundwork for what is now called organic farming, but J.J. Rodale is credited for coining the term in 1942, in his magazine Organic Farming and Gardening (6,7). Rodale proclaimed that processes performed by living things are fundamentally different than ones created through chemical laboratory processes. Ok, never mind that every living process is fundamentally a chemical process (7). According to Rodale and many modern day organic farmers the primary difference between organic and nonorganic food is the process in which the foods are produced, organic food is derived from natural processes whereas nonorganic comes from unnatural processes. This line of thinking demonstrates a common misperception, which is natural is always better. Would you be surprised if I told you the world’s most dangerous toxins are all natural?
thanks,
Coach Hale
