The word ?organic? is worth upwards of $50 billion a year. Some believe the word should be the exclusive property of those who farm in fertile soil. Others believe those who farm without soil should also own the word. And so we ask:

The word ?organic? is worth upwards of $50 billion a year. Some believe the word is the exclusive property of those who farm with fertile soil. Others believe those who farm with no soil also own the word. And so we ask:

The food was most always pretty wholesome, until we left the farm and moved into the city. Then, just like that, corn syrup mixed with red dye and a few hayseeds became strawberry jam. That bit of history leads us to ask: How did they make food safe to

The food was most always pretty wholesome, until we left the farm and moved into the city. Then, just like that, corn syrup mixed with red dye and a few hayseeds became strawberry jam. That bit of history leads us to ask:

What is in plants is now reduced to a powder, put into a pill or potion, and sold for $150 billion dollars, give or take! That leads us to ask:

Insect populations in the United States have declined by 65 percent in the past 50 years. Researchers who study insects call it, ?The Insect Apocalypse.? What is being seen in this apocalypse leads us to ask: Can people live without wildlfe?

At the end of the food chain there is trash, and lots of it. All that trash waiting to be dumped leads us to ask:
