Interviews

This morning I'm scheduled to be on the Joy Cardin show on Wisconsin Public Radio and then a bit later on the Dennis Miller show.  I've got 7 or 8 or more coming on Friday and next week, and I'll post those when the become available.  

I had a nice time in NYC earlier in the week and despite disappointing cancellations from Fox News and MSNBC due to the Boston tragedy, I had several nice interviews with the WSJ, Newsmax, WNYC, John Batchelor, and Dennis Prager, and a few others.  ​

WNYC on the Food Police

If you want to catch my bit with Brian Lehrer this morning on WNYC (New York Public Radio).  You can listen here.​  As Lehrer kindly pointed out at the beginning - he was hostile to my point of view.  

I thought I was able to hold my own - but judge for yourself.​

Reasons to Rethink Organic

The Huffington Post put up a slide show with some excerpts from the chapter on organic foods in The Food Police.  Here is the lead in:

Everywhere you turn, you hear "organic is healthier", "organic is greener", or "you absolutely MUST buy organic." It's not a question of whether we want to eat healthy, environmentally friendly food -- who doesn't want that? The question is whether organic lives up to the hype and whether it's worth it to pay a hefty premium. One of the problems with organic is that few shoppers know what the term really means, and they project onto the nebulous word all their hopes and dreams of good eating. Despite what many believe, organic doesn't mean food from small farms, produced without pesticides, or grown in the USA. There are a few advantages to eating organic but there are some drawbacks too. If you're rich enough and well-informed on the issues, then I say go for it. But, if you're not so sure whether organic lives up to all it is promised to be, here are a few reasons to re-think doubling your grocery bill.
