I never wanted to be THAT guy that lives in the LinkedIn comments, but this one just really got me going. I found this article from a NYT Food Reporter talking weighing the factors of whether it was worth it or not to buy organic produce. Personally, I felt both the author and the reporter who re-posted the article completely missed the point - and I don't blame them by any means, after all - not many nerd out about sustainable agriculture quite like your boy over here.

Here's a screenshot of the post and my comment, I'll let them speak for themselves:

I wanted to share this, because it reminded me that not everyone (including reporters) come from a climate & health - based perspective in our understanding. It's important to have these conversations however, because they lead to more communication regarding the sustainability and viability of our food systems, and help bridge understandings across people of all backgrounds. If you are curious to read the NYT article check the link below to see the author's perspective. And if you haven't already - head over to LinkedIn and give our page a follow!
