Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio - a guest argues that the growing trend of giving legal rights to nature is wrong and harmful, and a local organic food activist talks about why it's OK to give the organic label to food grown without soil.

Last week, I thought I'd be bringing you Wesley J. Smith of the Center for Human Exceptionalism at the Discovery Institute to argue humans are the only beings on the planet entitled to legal rights. That conversation, a follow-up on the previous conversation with Grant Wilson of Earth Law Center, fell through at the last moment, but the interview is now on tape and will be played on this week's program.

Grace Gershuny was at the center of writing U.S. organic standards, a story she chronicles in Organic Revolutionary. The book is now out in a second edition, and she'll bring us up to date on her thinking about current controversies in organic, including why she thinks hydroponically grown food can be labeled organic—even though there's no soil involved.
