Do you eat organic food?
If you do - even a handful of fruits and vegetables - you might be in for a rude surprise when you listen to this interview.
Max Goldberg is the founder of Organic Insider and one of the nation’s leading organic food experts. He sees significant room for improvement, really a NEED for improvement, when it comes to the USDA Certified Organic label.
Max and I dove into policy, reality, and labeling in the organic industry, and I for one learned a LOT.
You can learn too:
- the biggest misconception about organic foods
- a major issue in organics that has the potential to limit our choices at the grocery store and even disintegrate the entire industry
- how we as consumers can avoid this issue at the grocery store
- the best way to find “real” organic food, and why it’s actually better for your family
- what shocking toxin is getting into organic foods (and how to avoid it)
- the first step families can take if you’re not eating organic food already (and a really budget-friendly tip)
- the next step families should take if you’re already making some organic food choices
