"Organic" Does Not Always Mean Pure

I remember one time being at the Farmer's Market and a woman asked me if we were "Organic." I told her about how we went well beyond "Organic" and she laughed. Really. Out loud. She didn't believe that Organic wasn't pure. Little do people know how sad the Organic certification has become and how little it resembles pure food. Better than GMO? Yes! But, really, it's almost like comparing Cyanide to Sugar. Sure, sugar is much better than Cyanide, but it by no means is going to cure you from cancer! Sugar is still not good for you...and dare I say, perhaps "Organic" isn't either. Check out this eye-opening article that I came across from don'twastethecrumbs.com where it lists the top 14 things that the Organic Industry is hiding from you, the consumer.  Then, after you are thoroughly disgusted, you can leave your thoughts below. http://dontwastethecrumbs.com/2015/03/14-facts-the-organic-industry-doesnt-want-you-to-know/

Ask! Want to see the condition the chicken’s live in? No Problem! Want to dig your hands in the soil to see
