CBC - Doc Zone - Episode - The New Green Giants

I am currently watching the episode of Doc Zone about Organic foods.  This is a great episode for those of you looking at eating for a healthier lifestyle.  Some good facts on the difference between "Natural" and Organic foods.  It also talks about organic foods imported from China.

Check it out its great.

Update


Having the opportunity to watch the remainder of the documentary on the New Green Giants I have really put more thoughts in to our eating habits.  

Already a fan of Nature Path products I am proud to see this Canadian company being a successful company taking on the major corporations and sticking to its plan.  It is impressive to see this family ran operation take pride not only in the products but also having an excellent work environment.

Among my biggest disappointments when watching the Doc Zone special is the reality that major corporations will buy companies that originally had a vision to make an agricultural and healthy difference and dramatically change the direction.  With our daughter having issues with the bovine protien we use Almond milk in our house.  To see the changes that Silk has gone through where it now only has three organic products is a complete shock and totally disrespectful to not only the company but also the consumer.

Be aware that products marketed as Natural mean absolutely nothing.  Unlike certified organic products there is no regulations on the term natural.  Pesticides, chemicals etc anything can be found in these products.

Finally at the end of the documentary you will meet a farmer who has transitioned to organic farming and has had great success.  This is a perfect ending that hopefully can see that the reality organic food and farming is feasible.

Please watch the documentary it is worth it.
