Just what do you consider "slick" "shiny" or "fluffy" about the new OG?

Wasn't talking about OG---was referring to Organic Style (slick, shiny & fluffy pretty much describe it)and the way many OG subscribers were SLAMMED---switched over without their consent. Sorry it wasn't clear which mag I was talking about. The new OG isn't slick, shiny, or fluffy---just sad. A poor imitation of what it used to be.

I actually thought it was clever to use archival images mixed with new photography. It seems like a real effort to return to their roots...so to speak. I think, like all new ventures, time will tell. But if we all give up on OG, their success will be hampered even more. I still believe we should support our common causes, be they organics or world peace. And when all is said and done, come on gang, it's just a MAGAZINE! Geez!

I agree with you. I got so disgusted with Rodale that I demanded a refund on my entire subscription price, not just for unmailed issues. As far their products and publications are concerned - I'm done with them.

I know this old news now, but they are still sending that Organic Style magazine and I HAVE cancelled the rest of my Rodale press publications (Maria's done a pretty good job on ruining Prevention also) My dad was in publishing (a CFO no less) at one time and I remember when the original owner passed away and the "family" came in ....dad would mumble about them not knowing what they were doing and sometimes the last name of a person did not mean that they had any common sense. I now see what he meant.
I still have not had them get OG back in my mailbox, but if what you are saying is true maybe I just need to move on altogether.
