Can you help me out. You have previously posted info about the nutritional
value of various crops grown organically & argo-farmingly. Are you able to
provide some urls to that information?

thanks.

For the most part, I have been reflecting what I've read from Michal
Pollans two books

The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan
http://www.amazon.com/Omnivores-Dile...ls/dp/01430385
83/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1206815576&sr=1-1

In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto
by Michael Pollan
http://www.amazon.com/Defense-Food-E...114964/ref=sr_
1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1238974366&sr=1-1

and most recently Dr. Joe Schwarcz from articles that he sent to us.
If you didn't read those here, email me at and
I'll send them to you. Dr. Joe isn't a supporter of organic farming
because (he claims) that it can't feed our over populated world (and
soon no type of farming will be able to). But that is another story that
explores crop rotation, cover crops, eating seasonal produce, closing
CAFOs, U.S. Farm Subsidy Programs, and not using crop land to grow
ethanol.

I "googled": nutritional comparison of fruits and vegetables, organic
and non-organic; and this, in part, is what I got.
