I just saw this post Barbara Fisher made in July. Been meaning to post about the whys and wherefores surrounding my decisions on what to feed the family, but Barbara has written an excellent piece here, far better than I could ever have done to explain myself, hence the link to her post. Why the need to explain myself? Well, let’s just say a few people have commented, some of them well-meaning comments actually, or asked questions — and I’ve kind of let their comments slide because I felt that they would have to read the books I’ve read and be exposed to a whole bunch of people I’ve met before they can understand why our family has made the commitment to buying local and organic whole foods. There are so many issues behind it and Barbara covers most of them. I have a few others relating to education and religion, but I really would rather not blog about those here.

Edited to say: And don’t forget to read the comments too!
