WHAT DOES THAT FOOD LABEL MEAN?

"Organic"


Translation: Items that are certified as "100 percent organic" are produced using only methods thought to be good for the earth.  "Organic" means that the item contains at least 95 percent organic ingredients.


Good to know: By eating organic, you could avoid a lot of unnecessary pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or genetic engineering.  Many organic foods can cost up to 50 percent more than nonorganic products.


Buyer beware:  If buying organic is too much of a budget strain, nutritionists believe it is better to eat conventionally grown produce rather than skip it.
