I wanted to tell you what "organic" has done for me.

Why Organic?

Despite not have a dramatic crop duster incident ala North By Northwest like Bradley, I'm still very motivated for choosing organic.

Of course personal health and ecological concerns certainly influence the prescense of produce laden with codes preceded by 9's in my grocery cart. However that being said I find that the lack of healthy food, free of pesticdies/herbicides and other toxins available to ALL people, not just those who are affluent enough to afford it…. quite disturbing.
