It seems so obvious - like this book should have already been written. Elaine Lipson has written the definitive sourcebook on Organics, putting Organic Foods into a larger context whereby it can arguably be stated that not only are we healing ourselves with Organics but the Earth as well. For anyone wanting to convince a friend on the importance of Organics, or just remember why Organic Food is the right choice for themselves and their families, this book is a powerful reminder on how truly revolutionary the Organic Food movement is. Ms.Lipson gives an excellent history of the Organic Foods industry showing where it grew from and how committed the people are who are spearheading this effort. From farmers to some of the best chefs in the world, I felt like I got introduced to a worderful community of people who are trying to make a difference.
