About the Author

From The Publisher:

Food shopping should be fun, but these days it's downright confusing.  Just trying to eat well and make healthy and nutritious meals for our families has gotten more and more complicated.  Hormones, pesticides, antibiotics, mad cow disease, genetic modification-what impact do these issues have on our diet, our health, our waterways, our soil?  How can the average person sift through confusing labeling, conflicting news reports, and unfamiliar terminology in order to select foods that are truly healthy and nutritious?

With The Organic Food Guide, Steve Meyerowitz, aka "Sproutman", author of nine other books on diet and nutrition, guides you through this maze of tough health issues and new food choices.  He steers you to healthier foods and shows you how to find the bargains, too.

Learn the answers to these and other questions:

-How can you save money buying organic foods?
-Is there a difference between "organic", and "all natural"?
-Are organic foods really healthier? Safer?
-Do organic foods contain more vitamins and minerals?
-Can pesticides in conventional foods cause cancer?
