Organic or Not by S. Brereton

The formula for successfully conducted business is giving the consumer what they want. This has always been the trend since the Marketing Era in business. Well if that's the case, if I am the president of my cereal company and I don't think it's morally right to use car paint (for example) as a preservative in the ingredients of our product but the general public doesn't mind it in their food, then of course I'll use it in our ingredients, especially if our competitors are. One another note, recently the public has become more aware of the advantages of using organic and natural foods and the dangers of doing otherwise. Now, all of a sudden the food industry seems to be cleaning up their act. I hope it bothers you that the people in the food industry always knew of these dangers, but they didn't and don't care.
Like I said, their main focus is profit and our health is definitely not their best interest. Now the trend is organic and natural foods. But how can you be certain that the products are genuinely organic?
How do you know which companies to trust? Well my advice is to trust companies that have always or have already been making organic and natural products. That's apart of their mission statement. For example, a company called Natures Path is and was always known as a company to produce organic and 100% natural cereal despite whether the public wanted organic cereal or not. Now on the other hand a company like Kelloggs (sorry to the founder who happened to be Seventh-day Adventist...no biased opinions here) has not been producing organic goods but may be doing so now to satisfy the consumers wants.

You might say, well none of this really matters because all you have to look for is the round green and white (sometimes black and white) "USDA"- organic label. I hope we can trust that. Why spend more money for something that is "organic"? There is even another organization certifying goods organic called Quality Assurance Intelligence. I'd put my trust in them before trusting the USDA. Anyway, try to get organic food instead of conventional when possible. It's called 'organic' for a reason, it’s good for your 'organs' =) Also, ask God to bless your food and water and you will be fine.
