Its a preliminary research trip, and I had the opportunity to interview with the local public radio station.

		<description><![CDATA[It is a criticism that just won’t seem to go away. Doggedly persistent acolytes of “conventional” agriculture continue (and with good standing) to remind us that there is little to no scientific research to support many of the touted benefits of vegetables produced with organic, or so-called “natural systems” methods.

Throughout our state and indeed the nation, people are raising concerns about potential health risks associated with water fluoridation.
