 Very helpful December 25, 2008
This is a great resource for anyone (such as myself) trying to improve their quality of life by gradually changing over to a more organic approach. There is no overwhelming 'do it now because you're ruining the planet' approach ... just thoughtful, reasonable information and tools to help you make the transition. VERY well done!

This is a great starter for those wishing to learn more about organic foods. Excellent explanation of the differences between organic and conventional agriculture processes. Also includes summaries of many organic crops and products, what to look for, and how to use them. This is a wonderful reference book that I use almost daily.
 Great book April 30, 2008

I love this book. I took it out of my library and am about to purchase it from Amazon. The book not only talks about the organic advantages of most foods (veggies, fruit, dairy, meat, nuts etc.) but also lists nutritional benefits, what pairs well with the food, recipes (the few I have tried have been easy to prepare, wholesom and delicious.)and a great resource list. Wonderful book.
