Just when you thought it was safe to eat organic...

Turns out at least one researcher believes that local, organic food may actually be worse for the planet. The overall reasoning here makes sense, though I can't believe that the massive amounts of food shipping that currently occur would be offset by a shift to small scale production. After all, while there may be 5 or ten more trucks, they're travelling 1/100th the distance. But it's a good topic to discuss. No option is problem free, I guess.
