If you've been buying organic in the belief that it's better for you, you're right. But if you're buying organic because you think it's better for the environment, the picture's a bit murkier. I've been harping on the importance of buying organic for years, but lately I'm starting to wonder whether where our food comes from is just as important as how it's grown, if not more so.
Proponents of organic foods could soon be battling it out over which is the most important aspect of the organic farming movement: the process of growing the food or the reliance on locally grown ingredients. Organic foods have become such big sellers in the U.S. that there simply aren't enough ingredients to go around, meaning companies like Whole Foods and Stonyfield Farm must use imported organic ingredients or fall back on the non-organic kind and change their labels.
