Tell Us: Organic Food

Will Port Washington residents still purchase it after a Stanford study questions its health benefits?

From the to the abundance of grocery shops on the peninsula, there’s no shortage of spots to buy organic food in Port Washington.

But a recent Stanford University study published in the "Annals of Internal Medicine" claims that organic food is not more nutritious than conventional food.

Which has us wondering. Is the study affecting how you shop for your family? Are you more likely to purchase organic food than conventional food? If so, do you buy it for health reasons? Do you think it tastes better? Do you think organic farming is better for the planet? Or, do you think a forthcoming study will reveal different results? Tell us in the comments.

if we are going to sell off our 40 spot lot why not advocate for the LIRR to chip in and helpRead More building the 2 or 3 story parking lot on Haven? with more trains and more population we need more parking. we are fooling ourselves that this is not a "Hicksville" type train station. we are a main hub and it needs a substantial parking lot that will help commuter parking and help retail parking in the main lots off of main street. anyone who does not want that parking lot built needs to really ask themselves why not. if we can build a new car wash on a main cut through street for no reason we can get this done with the same traffic nightmares!!! BTW during construction which im sure will take at least a year. where will those people park? in the other lots, so us who take the 808 train will get screwed bc we will not have a place to park now.

Apparently Ms. De Giorgio isn't aware that there already IS a "train depot" in PortRead More Washington. Thanks for the link, very interesting explanation of the LIRR's options. I was unaware that LIRR owned the West side lot which, as the article states, makes the question of yard expansion moot. It's going to happen. Ms. De Giorgio should stop posturing and start advocating for the best solution for Port residents within the limited choices.

Good spot for a multi-story municipal/LIRR garage, given the height of terrain behind it.

I agree. This lot should be open all the time. Maybe there is a potential liability issue butRead More let's see if it can be worked out.
