05/02/2006: “Organic goes mainstream, is it a good thing?”
October 1st, 2006 Posted in Healthy Eating, OrganicsOrganic food is finally becoming “mainstream”. After years of only being able to find so called natural foods at health food stores, one can now find a myriad of natural foods at mainstream supermarkets. Organic milk, organic eggs, organic cereal, organic frozen foods, etc…….are all now easily found in most supermarkets at fairly decent prices. Walmart, Costco, Safeway, and more are all touting natural foods sections. But does this come at a cost? I think so. The following article is a very long, good read that hopefully will make everyone think about where they spend their organic dollars. There’s more reason now than ever to invest in your local farms, CSAs and dairies.
