Cereal Crimes

For more information: http://www.cornucopia.org/2011/10/nat...

"Natural" claims in the cereal and granola aisle mislead consumers. A new research study from The Cornucopia Institute indicates the "natural" claim is mostly meaningless marketing hype, in contrast to the USDA certified organic label which signifies the food was produced without genetically modified organisms (GMOs), toxic pesticides and other potentially dangerous synthetic inputs. Cornucopia and USDA research finds GMOs, and toxic pesticide residues, in "natural" cereal ingredients... and many "natural" brands are often priced higher than equivalent organic products.

Thank you cornucopia!!!! How can I support your work other than share your message?

[CornucopiaInstitute]

Hi Anthony, Thanks for your positive feedback and interest in supporting us. Other than sharing our message, which may have the most impact, the best way to support us is with a membership! Our members not only financially enable us to do our mission, but give us the moral authority to speak out. We also have a volunteer list for when projects we need help on arise.

Thanks for all the interesting comments and the kind words. They really do mean a lot to us!

To answer R6bbie's question: yes! We would be honored to have those of you who are finding our work valuable to contribute, financially supporting our mission. It's easy to become a Cornucopia member by visiting our website.

It would be wonderful if the human race wasn't so greedy and manipulative.

Sadly, Organic has become as meaningless as Natural... :( I miss the California Organic Act Label. That was a label that meant something.

So sad and surprised to hear about Annie's and some others cutting down their organic ingredient use. Nature's Path is one of the few cereals I will buy now. They do not use GMO ingredients. Thank you for this very helpful video.
