This is a great book for people who are just starting to buy organic and low-pesticide food items, buy a lot of processed food and/or do not cook a lot. However, most people who have been buying organic for a while might skip through many sections - like buying produce in season, the dirty dozen, clean 15, and using bulk bins. Some suggestions like buying organic baby food and where to get coupons for organic processed foods don't make a lot of sense -- shouldn't you make your own organic/low-pesticide baby food (with a few exceptions due to safety issues) and buy very few processed foods even if they are organic? There was no mention of the different organizations that certify foods at organic and their varying standards. But I did find a few useful ideas and links (which are conveniently located on a resource list at the end). I disliked the frequent and lengthy references to Whole Foods due the CEO's recent and controversial comments during a NPR interview. I refuse to shop there!
