What's wrong with processed organics?

You may not know this, but most Organic products are made and owned by big corporations. What's wrong with that you say? Well, they know once they get you hooked on their products you won't notice when they aren't organic any longer. They know that they can still sell you chips and cookies and processed foods and you think you're eating better, but you are not. Also beware, not all Organic associations are 100% organic or GMO free. Check out the certification company on the package online. The information is there, NOT on the company website, but you'll find it. Just look!

Case in point, this article taken from the Organic Consumers Association.

Silk Soymilk Packaging Scam

TheOCA web forum is an online community of like-minded people sharingthoughts about the wide variety of topics you regularly read about inOrganic Bytes or on the OCA website. The web forum now has over 4,500members and nearly 10,000 posts. One of those recent posts was from auser named Tedalan:

"Iwas very involved in the creation of Silk Organic Soymilk when it wasfirst designed and manufactured. Steve Demos was very committed to Silkbeing Non-GMO, Organic and Vegan. Suddenly, when buying Silk at WholeFoods, I discovered that none of the Silk flavors in half galloncontainers were certified organic. The cartons look exactly the same asbefore with the exception/removal of the USDA Organic Seal and the word"organic" before soybeans in the nutritional panel. This is a verysneaky way for a manufacturer to discontinue Non-GMO Organic soybeansin the manufacture of their product. I also wonder why Whole Foodscontinues to sell this product without a warning sign."

    The CNN.com site posts great stories, everything from breaking news to sports. One of the writers from New York, Jonathan Safran Foer nails it on the head with this article about the Food industry, the FDA, the USDA and our national nutrition policies. It's a must read for EVERY American. Food Industry Dictates Nutrition Policy. Once you know, how can you possibly ignore the facts? It's not about conspiracy at this point. It's about what they feed us so they can make a profit. I wonder if the CEO's of companies like Kellogg's, Kraft, Coca Cola and Pepsi actually eat ...
