LETTER TO THE EDITOR Shouldn't do that, boy! September 2014
Madam, I'm a farmer who loves to wander across the fields and taste the different varieties as they grow. A few years ago I was doing this with a non-organic farmer, who was growing lettuces for the supermarkets. I bent down to pick a leaf. He stopped me and warned 'Shouldn't do that, boy'. His lettuces were sprayed every week for aphids.
Hang on - this is a farmer who wouldn't eat his own food. Intuitively, anybody knows that's crazy. Food should be fit to eat out of the field.
