That Times Op/Ed is painfully stupid. Someone's doing something positive for the world and the environment isn't an attack on you for NOT doing it. Plus, some folks just like the way organic foods taste better, and they're willing to invest the time and money to get them. And finally, I sincerely doubt that any of those groups is sneering at food stamp Moms, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!

It's like saying that my sometimes liking to read Dickens is wrong in a world with so many people with low literacy. It's dumb and wrong and not even logical!

It's not even a well written piece. Powell starts out blasting those who buy organic, then meanders into talking about, what, cooking with leftovers?

Hey, Amy--thanks for posting about my essay/rant/response to Powell's "OpEd piece."

You hit the nail on the head with your comment--it isn't even well written. Not only is there not a shred of research evident in her opinion, her argument is badly constructed. She just flails around and flings crap at any target she gets in her sights, but in the end, says a lot of nothing.

It was wonderful to read. Sometimes I do wonder "Am I being a self-important elitist ass?" but then think, "No, not at all."

I admire Powell for her cooking adventure, but that doesn't excuse poorly written op ed pieces.

ugh. and I've been hasing out my new feelings on local non-organic vs. organic eat locally first, and if it's organic that's even better - this reduces the environmental costs of shipping. Wonder what brand of elitism THAT is?

re: filtered mountain spring water from Tibet

It better damn well be filtered!

Otherwise it'd have feces in it.

Personal witness from a Tibetan area, plus what I know about feces on Everest.
