Jason Kottke: Fearing food and frightful eating.
Reading David Suzuki’s “Good News for a Change” really changed my view about our food and agricultural habits. I’m still not great with choosing organic when I go shoping (but getting better), but all signs point to this being the future of food. Not GM, nor chemical pesticides and fertilisers. But working with nature’s cycles and evolved systems.
Organic foods are something that I would love to use more of – but the cost is something that is a bit of a problem! The costs are coming down as more people start to use organics, but the extra cost of labour ( hand removal of weeds etc) will always keep the cost slightly above that of the sprayers…..If its a little bit I dont mind paying it at all….but when things are double the price I cant justify it.
I just buy organic when I can – organic markets are the best as they can sometimes even be cheaper than shop bought non organic

Just for your info, there is a musician over here in england called matthew herbert. He recently put on a group called plat du jour. something crazy about combining music with cooking?? i dont know much about it, but its certainly an interesting performance/music idea!
