We all know food prices are rising, and organic foods were already generally more expensive. So how can heath-conscious shoppers KNOW they're getting true "green" groceries before they part with their green? Bankrate.com looks into all those labels.
Last time I checked, the usda organic seal has to be 95% organic. Furthermore, it's no joke even if it was 70%, the nutrtion levels are much better than the conventional. Also the fertilizer used is not some type of industrial sludge.
USDA Organic is somewhat of a joke itself; needing only to be 70% organic not 100% organic. Certified Oregon Organic is best meaning that ingredients are 90% organic again not 100% but better than USDA Organic.
This video does make a good point of knowing your suppliers though.
