Okay, okay, okay I know it’s not 100% raw living food but this is such a big step in the right direction with regard to the food we feed our babies and kids. Not everyone has the time, all of the time to create all living food meals for their babies so in the interim it’s nice to have healthy alternative choices. Kudos to Whole Foods for offering healthier alternative choices for parents to choose.

So recently, just a couple days ago I got the idea in my head that next time I sprout my mung beans I’ll do it with ozonated water. Boy oh boy I’m so glad I followed through with this idea because the results have been amazing.

As consumers become increasingly aware of what they eat, they are also taking control of where their food comes from. Some shop at farmers markets. Fewer go out and buy stakes in an organic farm.

It’s a small trend in Illinois that reflects the growing interest in organic food consumption. But the recession also has helped nurture this idea for people of means who want to invest their money in places other than the volatile, and now languishing, stock market or in certificates of deposit or savings accounts that pay 1 percent interest or less.

The food markets of today are quickly capitalizing on the growing demand for organically grown food. Organically grown food is produced without the use of commercially produced chemical fertilizers. People are just feeling better about consuming food without the dangers introduced by chemical fertilizers.

I just found this video online of Laura Klein interviewing Rod Rotondi about organic produce and Raw foods. Although many of you might have all heard this message before, the truth always sounds good no matter how many times you have to hear it.

According to CNN, ” If you’re eating non-organic celery today, you may be ingesting 67 pesticides with it, according to a new report from the Environmental Working Group. The group, a nonprofit focused on public health, scoured nearly 100,000 produce pesticide reports from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to determine what fruits and vegetables we eat have the highest, and lowest, amounts of chemical residue.”

It should not surprise anyone to learn that there are so many organic food stores that in the recent past have begun to mushroom in all kinds of places because it only goes to show just how much in demand organic food products have become is it in the form of supplements or as actual foods and in fact even countrywide chains are jumping into the fray and supplying buyers with their supplies of organic food products.

If you’re one of a growing number of people who are finally paying attention to where your food comes from, how’s made/raised, and what it contains then congratulations on becoming a healthier person and better steward of your environment. Now it’s time to take all you thought you knew about the labeling you’ve just come to recognize and throw it out the window. Well…at least some of it.
Green Vs. Greenwash

As consumers’ preference for organic products grows steadily worldwide, India is targeting exports of over $1 billion of such products in the next five years, Commerce Secretary Rahul Khullar said Saturday.

Organic products are those which are grown without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.h

Each of these diets is supposed to help you lose weight (and feel great!). “Organic,” on the other hand, does not belong in quite the same category. According to a new study, however, there appears to be an organic-cookie-eating portion of the U.S. confusing “organic” with “low calorie.”
