Organic foods are always the best since they do not contain trace amounts of pesticides and other harmful chemicals.

To think that years ago I used to think Food was a pretty boring subject. Now, it’s pow-pow-pow with all the deception and duping and craziness, thanks to Big Food’s march toward ever bigger bucks. It would be nice to get a break from the constant degree of diligence we seem to need to stay ahead of these hucksters.

I read about this “natural” scam in Michael Pollan’s book The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. Sadly, he takes on various “organic” companies as well. It’s hard to know what certifications to trust!

I wasn’t aware GMOs had gotten so pervasive until I did this piece. Though I was CERTAINLY aware of Big Food’s deceptive tactics to sell their products. I think organic farmers have to be really tough people to stand up to companies like Monsanto.

I had a small organic farmer in one of my classes this semester who opened my eyes to a variety of challenges they are dealing with. I was noshing on a bowl of grapenuts and yogurt as I read. I’ll bet the grapenuts aren’t organic…but then they don’t advertise themselves as such either.
