Description/Notes
Discusses the organic food movement and recent information about the United States Department of Agriculture's criteria for what defines an organic food. As the saying goes, you are what you eat. But how do you know what you are eating? Besides offering a short history of organic agriculture and a profile on environmentalists who have made a difference such as Rachel Carson, this book highlights what organic food is not. Topics such as the influence and use of genetic engineering and antibiotics in food are discussed, as well as bacterial contamination. Organic Foods also has a section about tips for basic methods of gardening.
