review 1: The information in this book is solid and interesting, but the tone of Rodale's language struck me as arrogant. I don't disagree with any of her arguments or points, but I couldn't read past the condescension and lack of sophisticated understanding that her text showed in terms of the choices that farmers and others have to make when it comes to food and crops. It's sometimes not as easy as simply choosing organic, although I wish more people would. Cost is not an incidental factor. I do realize that, perhaps, toward the end of the book she suggests more systemic changes that would make organic accessible to more people. . . but I didn't get here because of the tone.
review 2: Great book on the pro's of eating organic. You will find yourself infuriated by ou... morer food system to the point that you will never look at food the same again....unless its organic. This book is biased but the arguments are backed up with references. She is honest about being biased though which gives her more credibility in my opinion. This definitely convinced me that organic is best, however, it's still not affordable for everyday people. She believes that it is, which I disagree with. Other than that, it's a good but infuriating read :-) less
