As an investigative journalist and confirmed skeptic, I made it a rule to ‘read between the lines’ when I do my in-depth research for articles we post on this website, as well as to fact-check them with all available sources that could corroborate and verify information before I share it with anyone—in print, classroom or public presentations.

Because such research and preparation are time-consuming and require arduous work and concentration, I learned to appreciate information sources that—after some scrutiny and periodic re-checks—prove to be reliable.

One such source is the online Organic Consumers Association— — and its Organic Bytes newsletter, which covers news about sustainable agricultural practices; the uses of pesticides, GMOs and other toxins by factory farms; water and climate crises around the world; foods that prevent illnesses and promote healing; and other related issues.

While this is the first link posted here to trustworthy sources that can help expand our followers’ knowledge about food safety and health-protective nutrition, we expect it won’t be the last. And just like access to and all information posted on FreeRangeClub.com, access to this and future links is completely FREE.
