It's no longer just for “back to the earth types”….even McDonald’s and Wal-Mart are now “developing a taste” for the organic movement. We’ll look at how this industry has evolved… why there’s debate over the definition of organic…and what’s “feeding” our growing national appetite for organic food. Laura's guests are Samuel Fromartz, Business writer and author of "Organic, Inc.: Natural Foods and How They Grew". Steve Taylor, Commissioner for New Hampshire's Department of Agriculture and Tom Kelly, Director of the University of New Hampshire's Office of Sustainability.
