Questioning The Integrity Of The USDA "Organic" Label Empty Questioning The Integrity Of The USDA "Organic" Label

Should the consumer trust the government's organic label now that big money wants a big chunk of profits from the reputation of organic foods? From organic baby food to foreign sourced foods - the organic label is shown to be corrupted, with bought-off officials compromising the standards. There are now more contaminants than ever in "organic" labeled foods. Why is a government stamp NOT the answer for safe food?

Grow your own foods or buy from a local grower whom you know and trust. This is why we need to keep our dollars going to local producers with a good reputation for quality food.
