Support Sustainable Farming - Buy Organic!

Recently, I have learned some important facts concerning sustainable farming from a surprising source - The Martha Stewart Show.  Do I agree with everything Martha?  Certainly not.  But kudos to her for standing up for sustainable farming practices and buying from local organic sources whenever possible.  Especially impressive was her discussion with author Jonathan Safran Foer regarding his book, "Eating Animals," which among other things, emphasizes the need for sustainable farming in this country.  It is next on my reading list, and I'll review it for you when I've finished.  If any of you have already read it, please share your thoughts.  On November 19th, her show presented vegetarian options for Thanksgiving.  And, on December 10th, the show featured a piece regarding the Mars Center for Cocoa Science in Bahia, Brazil, which supports sustainable cocoa farming in the previously devastated region.  You can access summaries of these shows in the TV archive section at marthastewart.com.  It is encouraging to have these principles promoted by a mainstream personality.  The more information we have, the better food choices we can make.  Let me know what you think.
