Chef's Table: Close to Home |
Much has been made in the past few years about ?organic,? ?free-range,? ?local,? ?seasonal,? ?pesticide-free? and ?all-natural? foods. It?s heartening to see that many Americans are paying more careful attention to their food choices, and seeking out produce, meat and dairy products that are better for them than the mass-produced products they ate from supermarkets while growing up; but with so many terms in play, it?s easy to be confused ? and worse yet, deceived ? about just what is going into the foods we eat. By now, I think most people have realized that the buzzword ?organic? may or may not assure they?ll get something that was farmed with the care, love and purity of the traditional farmer. Even huge agribusinesses and retailers like Wal-Mart have started offering at least some portion of their products with an ?organic? label.
