You're concerned about the chemicals, pesticides, preservatives and pollution in your food, and you'd like to do something about it.   

You know the story: You’re concerned about food safety: the chemicals and pesticides and preservatives and pollution in your food and you’d like to do something about it. Maybe even switch to a completely organic diet … or something. But there’s so many sickly looking nuts pushing pet theories over there in the “health” camp that you’re not too sure about that either. 

What you’d like to see is kind of a good, sensible, middle-of-the-road approach to health foods — one that both worked and tasted good, right?  

Well, Mick and Lini — who write Ecological Cookery for the L.A. Free Press — may have that theory. Although I take mild exception to a couple of their blanket statements I think — in the main — they’ve done one of the better jobs of linking the daily ration to an overriding ecological viewpoint. See what you think as you read Mick and Lini’s … “Food Thing”. 

Food Safety

Today, every Americanfrom the President to our greyhaired grandmother knows the meaning of the word ecology. The national media are filled with glaring, glossy feature articles on the subject. Invariably these articles all read the same and the advice they offer is predictable: unless America changes its basic approach to Nature there are grim times in store for us all. Suggestions are offered, commissions appointed to study the matter, laws passed, law suits filed but … interestingly enough … nothing really changes.
