Did you know that sales of organic goods still represent only six percent of all food sold in U.S? Have you ever wondered why organic foods are less popular than other food choices? Are these foods better for our bodies and environment? There is an ongoing debate about whether these foods are healthy or not.
If you want to explore the history of organic foods with a personal touch, then this book is a must read as it is a personal memoir of an author who is quite expressive about her love for organic foods.
The author describes her life journey in the U.S., beginning in the 1960’s and continuing to present day. Nora Pouillon's writes about the personal and professional challenges she faced while working as a cooking teacher, chef, and restaurant owner after opening the first ever certified organic restaurant named Nora in the U.S.
Nora Pouillon has been on the forefront of several organizations to promote a healthy environment – advocating for changing people’s fish buying habits, bringing affordable organic food to underserved communities, and many other environmental causes.
The book is a must read for all healthy foodies, and for those who are interested in learning about significant events in the organic food movement including the groundbreaking passage of the 1990 Farm Bill and how this led to a formation of organic standards in the U.S. The book is both thought provoking and thrilling to read.
