Food shopping should be fun, but these days it's downright confusing. Just trying to eat well and make healthy and nutritious meals for our families has gotten more and more complicated. Hormones, pesticides, antibiotics, mad cow disease, genetic modification - what impact do these issues have on our diet, our health, our waterways, our soil? How can the average person sift through confusing labeling, conflicting news reports, and unfamiliar terminology in order to select foods that are truly healthy and nutritious? With The Organic Food Guide, Steve Meyerowitz, aka Sproutman, author of nine other books on diet and nutrition, guides you through this maze of tough health issues and new food choices.
