"Organic" Doesn't Always Mean Organic

So "Organic" doesn't always mean organic...sounds confusing right? 
If you've read my previous post, you'll know that I'm all for eating organic foods.  However, one of the most important things I've discovered about organic foods, is that just because the label says "organic" doesn't mean that it is, in fact, organic.  Food labeling has very few regulations, so some manufacturers can actually claim that their product is "organic" or "all natural" or whatever when it isn't.  So I suggest looking into what the labels mean when buying organic foods and to know what the regulations are that need to be met to call something "organic", to ensure that you are getting what you pay for.  Here are a couple of websites that I have found useful:
fnic.nal.usda.gov/nal_display/​index.php?info_center=4&...

www.faqs.org/nutrition/Ome-Pop/Organic-​Foods.html

In addition to knowing what the labels mean, and what the regulations are in calling something "organic", I also suggest that you should buy locally and from people you know or grow your own whenever possible.  Because buying foods in the store that are organic and do meet the criteria for being organic, doesn't mean that they are grown free from pesticides and other harmful chemicals.  See this link for some of the unknown facts about "organic" foods: http://www.biotech-info.net/deadly . I think it's important to know as much as we can about the foods we consume. And sometimes things aren't always what they seem...even when they claim to be the best for us!

All in all,  the best thing you can do is to grow your own...because only then do you truly know what it happening to your foods! But if you can't, at least do the necessary research to ensure that you are getting the best food possible.
