Thank Goodness For The Organic Food Standards
Section targetingorganic Are food standards necessary? Whatever a human can dream up to do to our food supply, it seems someone would do it.Would you ever have imagined that human waste or sewage sludge would be fertilizers? The logic behind this thinking eludes me. Now, of course, you wouldn't know this had been spread on the soil where your supper was grown. The organic standards is probably the best assurance you'll ever get of the methods used to produce your food. There is an Act for
Canada
and the
U.S.
Imagine a farm where:
- only specified fertilizers where permitted -
no growth hormones were used
-
no genetic modification was tolerated
- no sewage sludge entered in -
no synthetic chemical pesticides were allowed
- care of the land was incorporated into the farming operation. Sounds a lot like Grandma's farm. Here we truly are taking a step back to go forward. You get this quality and protection from the Production Act. You choose certified food for what you get. Now you also know to choose it for what you don't get. A mother's choice made sensibly with facts known. To get a further understanding of organic labels you can read the article
Organic Food Labeling.
