Daniel Read <[log in to unmask]> >Given that the article is no longer available, could you summarize it >briefly. What was the thrust of the article? Technically, the article is available online - it just costs money now. However, the article discussed how organic farming was becoming more like regular farming in the US: centralized in a few, large corporate farms. It also discussed how organic farming is not a revolution, but a market niche appealing to certain financially upscale consumers who have a particular health orientation. Here health orientation is seen as a set of consumer attitudes, and not some set of objective measures (like biomarkers). Very interesting article - worth looking up if the NY Times is in your favorite library. Tom Billings
