But, according to the book's author, even despite the accessibility of processed foods, more Americans today are changing their eating habits to be healthier. Business and Economy Mon, 04 Mar 2013 20:01:05 -0600 Food doesn't have to be organic to not be processed. This article, like so many others, sets up a false choice--either more expensive organic, or junk. I buy mostly conventional produce and only go organic when it's a good price or better overall quality. There are a lot of myths about organic and conventional methods. Many of the common "beliefs" simply do not hold up under rational and objective scrutiny. In general, I support locally grown with methods I can question the grower about over "Big Organic", which suffers from some of the same problems as Big Food in general. O Organic junk food is still junk food and I prefer a locally grown apple that may have been sprayed to save the crop over one grown organically (which may also have been sprayed) 3000 miles away.
