Organic Vs Non Organic Food

The most recent horror film I have seen was entitled ‘The Future of Food’. Normally I enjoy horror movies but not of this caliber. The Future of Food is a documentary that depicts the contemporary plight of farmers as they struggle to compete against corporations like Monsanto as well as outlining the controversy over genetically modified foods. 

While most of us are aware that organic produce is better tasting than genetically modified food, the film offers plenty of additional reasons to say no thank you to GM foods. 

You can view the trailer on The Future of Food’s website: Trailer

If you have not seen it, I highly recommend it. It wasn’t long after the husband and I saw the Future of Food that we arranged for a weekly box of produce from a local organic farm called Garden of Eden Organics . We have quickly realized that the additional cost is well worth the money. The quality of the produce we eat is outstanding. We feel great about the food we are eating and we know where it comes from. 

Local Harvest is a great online resource for looking up organic farms, co-ops and farmers markets in your area.

Here is just a sample of some of the delicious produce we received in our box this week:
