Famous people who eat organic
Alright this conversation is getting silly... of course it is important to
have celebrity role models/spokespeople. And it can make positive change.
Oprah happened to mention that she reads books (for fun, of all things) and
the next day fiction sales soared. She names her favorite book and stores
sell out of it. Fortunately she reads good stuff. If Oprah mentioned that
she eats organic food, we wouldn't have enought to go around.
There can be nothing wrong with celebrity endorsement of organic food.
Americans obviously trust celebs more than they trust the guvamint. Trying
to avoid "the cult of personality." is like putting your head in the sand.
This is 1997, if we don't get moving we are all going to be dead before
anything really changes.
