Synopsis In A FIELD GUIDE TO BUYING ORGANIC, the authors cover the knotty issues of federal regulations, USDA certification requirements, and labeling. They also provide practical information about the actual shopping process: how and what to buy at supermarkets, natural food stores, and farmstands. Each chapter begins with a quiz so that readers can zero in on what's important to them as consumers, enabling them to concentrate on health issues, or the environment, or simply the best flavors. This long overdue, highly detailed, comprehensive look at the organic food situation is a truly helpful guide for people who are trying to improve the quality of the food they eat but not spend a fortune doing it.
