I'm sure this will be a stupid question, but who is this Dr. Schwarcz? The
name is not familiar at all...

For those unfamiliar or who did not follow from the beginning, Dr Joe
Schwarz is a noted professor that tries to make science more fun and
understandable for the average person. He has a large following in
Canada, and is well respected in Montreal. He's a little like Jerry
Baker in terms of what he preaches. Some people swear by their
methods, others feel they are quacks. Many say Dr. Joe is too liberal
and accepting of chemicals in his day to day suggestions.

I've listened to Dr. Joe on CJAD radio Canada and what he says seems
to make pretty good sense in most cases, although I certainly would
not try to dissuade anyone who prefers an "all-organic" approach to
gardening. His topics are not exclusive to gardening, but offers
advice on various issues, including nutritional info, dieting, etc.

By the way, the quoted letter from Sherwin is very similar to how the
doctor actually speaks on his show, so it is very likely to be
genuine. You can certainly call the show and debate his objectivity on
air. It would actually be interesting to hear. ;-)
