Organic food eaters
Does it bug you when you buy something "organic" and you have no clue or proof that ist is? I bought some bags of frozen "organic" broccoli from my local Trader Joe's and it says it a product of China................? Everything with food is a gamble unless you grow it yourself.

1. Its how the FDA "regulates" the "organic" industry....
do a Google search on what qualifies as "organic" and "natural"...
you'd be surprised....

2. No, because
I grow it myself or get it from neighbors who I know grow organic! I also try to shop at individual health food/organic food stores, and not at chain stores. You can get to know the owner, get to know what kind of person he/she is, so you can figure if they've really gotten truly organic stuff, usually locally.

stainless steal and stuff like that...

4. The only organic produce I eat is from my parents' organic farm.
...I'm pretty sure it's really organic.

5. Go with a company in America that is certified by their state
There are some reputable ones. Probably your best bet.
