Choosing the Best Organic Foods in a Grocery Store Can be Tough
Organic foods have become increasingly available at mainstream markets. Fully half of all organic foods sold in the United States are now sold by chain groceries.
But problems have come along with the increased availability. Companies are cutting corners in order to boost profits. Organic milk, for example, could be produced either by family farms that allow outdoor grazing, or by cows confined in factory farms.
Knowing how to read a label can help you choose wisely. If a label says "certified organic," then it has been grown and processed according to the USDA national standards. If the product simply says "natural," it is likely to be nothing but a marketing tool.
