Great Organic Starter!!
26 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback
Within the past 8 months I have switched my diet and lifestyle to an organic one. Since then I have been bombarded with people asking me why and what does it mean. I found this book in my research and think it is a very informative and practical guide to understanding why organic foods are so important, both for our health and for our environment! I have bought a bunch of these books and have been sharing them with friends and family. I recommend reading this book as a good starting point to truly understanding organic essentials!

A Good Start, But Biased
2 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback
The Organic Food Guide is a good starting point for someone interested in organic food, and it's a quick read. However, I feel that it does not go very in depth on the subject. It also seems somewhat biased, proclaiming only the (sometimes undocumented) benefits of organic food. Also, the pictures left a bit to be desired, as most were of poultry/egg farms. The cost-comparison chart included showed organic foods to cost the same as, or only slightly more than, conventional products, which, as any shopper could attest, is inaccurate.

The Organic Food Guide
7 Mar 2005
Format:Paperback
This book outlines the differences in labels and treatment of foods in stores. For example, what is the difference between regular and organic foods, besides price? Before reading this book I never really understood the difference between products and why I should be buying organicilly grown foods. I found this to be very helpful in understanding if I am really eating healthy.
