2010-09-02 A visit to new Natural Grocers on Preston and Forest in Dallas Dallas/Fort Worth

The store had organic and lean meat, Amys Pizzas at a pretty cheap price, and oodles and oodles of packaged nuts and grains. It also had many more natural and allergy-free cleaners than the much bigger Whole Foods across the street, and an easier parking lot situation. If you wanted to run in and get a few things and didnt feel like dealing with the logistical nightmare of Whole Foods, youd do fine.

Vitamins vitamins vitamins. Where a normal 2010-era grocery store might devote a quarter of its square footage to a rustic bountiful produce display, Natural Grocers produce section is instead a mere one aisle, although all of that produce is organic (and on Day One, looked to be in good shape). This place instead devotes that floor space to vitamins and supplements.

In light of the egg recall, there was a factory farm attached to that or an agro-business. In those large institutions, food safety is really not the top priority. The top priority is trying to get as much money as you can for your product," said Matt Ewer, owner of Farm Fresh Organic Food Delivery.

2010-08-28 Tiny Green Bubble The Other Side of Organic: Feeding a Growing Population

By 2050, the earths population is expected to reach around nine billion people, and the food solution to that growth explosion may lay in scientific food, such as artificial meat grown in vats, nanotechnology and, the bad word, genetically modified foods. While we may not want to hear that, growing and raising enough natural and organic food to feed nine billion people wouldnt just strip and kill the planet, its probably not even feasible.

John Beddington, the UK government chief scientist thinks that even using the techniques listed above to create non-organic food, hundreds of millions of people may find themselves starving to death regardless in the not-too-distant future. In a set of twenty-one papers published by the Royal Society, the conclusion is reached that, while there is little available land left in the world for food production, the fact that food consumption needs will increase by as much as seventy percent in the next forty years isnt insurmountable as long as we are realistic about it.

While many mothers struggle to feed their young families at all, the rich indulge theirs in expensive organic-only babyfoods - some of which, when tested, were found to have fewer nutrients and minerals than the non-organic sort.
