Can the Organic Label be Trusted?

by

I read a post The Organic Myth in No More Mr. Fat Guy and it got me to thinking can you trust anything you get off the shelves? Once products are processed and packed, they lose most of the qualities they claim to propogate. The whole debate of going organic gets worse when you think about whether you can trust the USDA label at all.

Can You Trust The USDA Organic Label? makes you sceptical. There are too few certifiers and the standards are not necessarily followed. Some farmers use ammonium nitrate as fertilizer as it’s cheaper. An influx of goods from offshore giants makes it hard to get standard products.
