I wrote last week about the importance of calling your Senators to encourage them to vote NO on Senate Bill 510 (also known as S.510). The vote was delayed until today. So now is the time to call your Senators if you want to make a difference in how they vote.

Sunshine Burgers
Burgers…the All-American holiday and fast food favorite
For most of us, no holiday would be complete without the ubiquitous burger. It’s an essential part of any picnic, work lunch, and fast food take out. Heck it’s a major part of the American experience! Whether it’s on the grill, in the oven, or at the drive thru, there’s nothing like a good burger with all the trimmings.
Farmers Market
CSA: Buy Local and Support a Farmer
The primary mission of Organic Foods Reviews is to bring you closer to the producers of your organic food. The quickest and easiest way for you to do that is to join a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) group. What is a CSA you may be asking? A CSA is a structured relationship in which consumers make a commitment to a farmer or farm family, to purchase their produce/products at the beginning of the growing cycle before the seed is put into the ground. This is really a wonderful relationship, in which you get closer to the food you eat through your personal relationship with the producer of that food, the farmer. You can often visit the farm and see exactly how your food is produced and where. The kids will love the visit and remember the day for the rest of their lives. It is always an educational experience at the very least.
I want to welcome everyone to the official launch of OrganicFoodsReviews.com. It’s been a long-time in coming and we are bursting with information and insights, new products and ideas to help you get closer to the producer of your organic food.

If you care about the food that you eat, where it comes from and how it gets to your table, this is a must see movie. But there is a caveat, you will not be the same after you see it and you will look at food very differently than you do now.

Lotus Foods: Small Company – Big Vision
I met Caryl Levine and Ken Lee, co-founders of Lotus Foods at Expo West last year. I was immediately impressed with the broad vision that drives their company. They are not just bringing some of the most exotic, unique tasting rice to the US market; they are also transforming the quality of life for the farmers they work with and teaching them to have a soft and sustainable impact on the environment. If you are looking for a way to enjoy delicious tasting exotic rice and make a strong statement that you care about how your food is grown, packaged, and distributed, you need look no further than Lotus Foods.
