Laura When to Eat Organic There are lots of good reasons to choose local and organic foods, from soil quality to transportation costs to nutrient density to supporting local farmers. However, organic produce is usually more expensive, and many of us have to pick and choose where we spend our food dollars.

Here's the latest list. Time for a New Food Pyramid A new food pyramid will be revealed later this year, and I wrote (and spoke) an editorial for my public speaking group.
