You know summer's in full swing when the produce at your local farmer's market is more bountiful and diverse each week. It's great to see so many people purchasing food from small, organic farmers (as opposed to the middle aisles of supermarkets). It instills in me that the overall shift we're experiencing in the U.S., with regard to our demand for organic, whole foods, is only getting stronger! As Michael Pollan concisely states in his new book, In Defense of Food, "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." Well said, Michael.
