Spotlight On: Environmental Working Group

/
From EWG's "Meat-Eater's Guide to Climate Change and Health."
While researching information about farm subsidies and the growing local food movement, I stumbled upon the Environmental Working Group; a non-profit organization that advocates on Capitol Hill for health-protective and subsidy-shifting policies.

The group's website, www.ewg.org, is a virtual kiosk of information that benefits farmers and consumers alike. Pages on the site cover transparency in the food supply,  health issues, a chemical index, and up-to-date information on natural resources and the politics surrounding them. Definitely a great go-to for anyone interested in farming, thoughtful consumption, and the politics of food and health.
