There is nothing wrong with special occasion foods, as long as every day is not a special occasion.

My hope is that if people have the knowledge, and if they actually see where their food comes from and have access to the information, they will make better ethical choices.

Eating's not a bad way to get to know a place.

Plus, I love comic writing. Nothing satisfies me more than finding a funny way to phrase something.

Avoid food products with more than five ingredients; with ingredients you can't pronounce.

If it came from a plant, eat it; if it was made in a plant, don't.

There are certain products that it's worth buying organic just because the alternatives have so much pesticide. There's a list of the dirty dozen that you can get off the Web. Strawberries, potatoes. A handful of crops that have very high pesticide residues if you don't buy organic. If you eat that a lot, that's a good place to invest.
