Ever wonder WHY? Here's another good reason.

On Friday, I heard a snippet of a show about tomatoes on NPR's Science Friday segment.  It was an interview with Barry Estabrook regarding his new book, Tomatoland: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit.  It sounded intriguing and timely, so Saturday, I replayed it while I was canning tomatoes.  By the time I was finished listening, I was happy to have spent my time canning my tomatoes and those of local farmers and friends.
I knew that they were grown and picked ethically and I will return to my canning endeavor again today and never eat another industrial grown tomato again if I can help it.  This interview is worth a listen.  http://www.sciencefriday.com/program/archives/201108265
