Drawing on findings from leading health researchers as well as conversations with both chemical and organic farmers from coast to coast, Maria Rodale irrefutably outlines the unacceptably high cost of chemical farming on our health and our environment. She traces the genesis of chemical farming and the rise of the immense companies that profit from it, bringing to light the government’s role in allowing such practices to flourish. She further explains that modern organic farming would not only help reverse climate change by reducing harmful carbon emissions and soil depletion, but would also improve the quality of the food we eat, reduce diseases from asthma to cancer, and ensure a better quality of life in farming communities nationwide. For every parent wondering how best to safeguard the health and safety of her children; for every environmentalist in search of a solution to the worsening crisis that afflicts our land, air, and waters; for every shopper who questions whether it is worth it to pay more for organic, Maria Rodale offers straightforward answers and a single, definitive course of action: We must demand organic now.

They are often labelled - and misdiagnosed - as having ADD or ADHD because they won't comply with established rules and patterns; and they may exhibit behavioural problems at home and in school. In this text, Doreen Virtue explores the psyche of these special children, aiming to positively affect the ways in which parents interact with their children.
Jo Robinson s popular book Pasture Perfect explains the far-reaching benefits of choosing meat, eggs, and dairy products from animals raised on pasture. Drawing on over 13 years of research, Robinson explains that products from grass-fed animals are safer for you and more nutritious than food from animals raised in feedlots. The animals benefit as well. Chickens are free to graze on greens, scratch for insects, enjoy sun baths, and roost in comfort. Cattle, bison, dairy cows and lambs are truly contented as they graze on green pasture, breathe fresh air, and stay on the farm from birth until market. What s more, raising animals on pasture is better for the environment. It requires less fossil fuel, enriches the soil with nutrients, and turns manure into a resource, not a waste problem.Robinson is the first investigative journalist to gather all the scientific evidence about the benefits of raising animals on pasture. As readers will learn, products from grass-fed animals are free of added hormones and antibiotics and are less likely to transmit foodborne pathogens. The food is also higher in Vitamin E, beta-carotene, omega-3 fatty acids, and CLA, a cancer-fighting fat. Pasture Perfect does more than explain the benefits of choosing pastured products it also helps you locate, store, and cook them. Sixty pages of recipes will show you how to bring out the tenderness and flavor of this highly nutritious, environmentally friendly food. Accurate and carefully researched, Pasture Perfect provides a concise overview of this greenest of all industries for consumers, policy makers, and farmers.
