In the latest NYT's Week in Review, Mark Bittman writes about "organic" food and healthy eating - it's definitely worth peeking at here.
An interesting (and frightening) tidbit from the article:
But eating “organic” offers no guarantee of any of that. And the truth is that most Americans eat so badly — we get 7 percent of our calories from soft drinks, more than we do from vegetables; the top food group by caloric intake is “sweets”; and one-third of nation’s adults are now obese — that the organic question is a secondary one. It’s not unimportant, but it’s not the primary issue in the way Americans eat.
What do you make of this article and the broader topic in general?
(Props to Michelle O. for setting a great example!)

I read this article and agree that we've drifted far from what real food is. The deliciousness of a little olive oil dribbled on toast with a tomatoe rubbed in...incomparably better than an oreo.
