Did you know that there are foods that even the farmers who grow them will not eat! I have been reading a great piece about these foods. 7 Foods So Unsafe Even Farmers Won't Eat Them. The following foods are outlined in the article. Check out the article for the details.
1. Canned Tomatoes
2. Corn-Fed Beef
3. Microwave Popcorn
4. Conventionally Grown (Not Organic) Potatoes
5. Farmed Salmon
6. Milk Produced with Artificial Hormones
7. Conventional Apples
For me it always comes back to grow what you can, buy local from farmers you know, eat in season, buy organic.

Wow, microwave popcorn...I had no idea. As part of growing my own food, I really need to get a bigger garden so I can start on that fruit tree grove;)

Nice garden! I too live in the urban environment nd I have a container garden. My tomatoes are getting big I now follow you fellow eco-friendly blogger!!
