The Michelle Obama Bounce: Organic farms
Thursday, May 7, 2009 at 7:49AM
Retail sales of organic produce have reached $20 billion; 5% of veggies sold are now organic; and 1% of milk comes from organic dairy farms. And Michael Pollan (on last week's forum program) says there is a new form of organic conservative calling themselves "crunchycons". It is a new world. To illuminate these trends, NYTimes' map department turns to organic farms, and produces these useful maps.

Organic Farms really help us a lot. It cost small amount of money while giving us the benefit of having good health. I also heard that First Lady Michelle Obama is promoting Organic and i believe she had the right decision. Organic is what we need to help the environment and have longer life.
