Quote from a food chemist

From an article in the San Francisco Chronicle

Alyson Mitchel

"Mitchell, for her part, says, "What I'd like to tell everyone is to grow food when you can, support local farm systems when you can, try to buy organic and, whatever you do, buy fresh and cook it yourself.""

Why did she say buy fresh and cook it yourself?

Because her studies have not found any differences in nutritional value between organic and non-organic processed foods... as she states, "we're losing a lot of nutrition in processed foods."
