Hey Enzo, and other commentators, be careful what you assert (or wish for)!

As Dr. Mercola has point out "organic" is NO assurance of any quality standard!!!

There have been major SCAMS, not only in the main stream grocery or super market food business, but throughout the so called natural and health food business, diluting the term "organic", to this very day!

Where there is profit to be made, and virtually no policing of laws or labeling on the books, you can be assured the crooks are operating.

Even the self appointed organic certifiers, with no legislative or true oversight, vary in empirical standards and conduct (a great deal is money for a piece of certification paper and backed up with no standards of quality or safety).

So how does one make sure the organic veggies, beef, poultry, eggs, fish, dairy, fruit, processed packaged goods, etc. are indeed void of residual chemicals, pesticides, genetic modification, irradiation, are grown in clean soil,and are microbial or bacteriological hazard free, or organic fertilization free, etc.?

Whenever possible (and this easier to do in places like California) purchase at local farmer's markets where you can talk directly to the grower, or grow your own, and purchase antique varietals with more flavor and nutrition, but less shelf life.

Another good indicator if the product is made to a higher quality (and hence a safer nutritional standard) is also PRICE. Quality is long remembered after price is long forgotten. An organic honey only a few pennies above the mass produced 'natural' label (which is force fed HFCS in 24-7-365 lit hives) would tend to indicate indeed that honey is NOT truly organic.

As soon as one organic con labling brand is exposed, the crooks are on to spin another one.

And if you think the FDA is policing this, think again.

I think the Organic food revolution has made an effect, but more than this I beleive it is the news of the HRT therapy causing much of it. Did the study mention men to women %?

Another good article..."The World is Going Organic, From Grassroots Movement to Significant Industry" at BackToOrganic.com. (bottom of page)

We shouldn't forget to mention that part of the drop in the cancer rates can be attributed to a large group of women who stopped taking HRT drugs. Also more people are becoming aware that the large amount of soy found in our foods may be stimulating cancer growths that react to the estrogen-like compounds that are in this hard to avoid product. As more people read the many highly informative and truthful articles found here at this site, we will find cancer rates continuing to drop.

Enzo, I agree with you, however, do you have any sources to back up your statements? It is obvious that organic foods are becoming more common when places like Wal-Mart are attempting to enter into the health food market.

Hmm…That statistic seams to coincide with the fact that organic food sales and consumption has nearly tripled between 2001 and 2004 predating and coinsiding with that same period of time.

Add to that fact, the data indicating the largest ever segment of our population is supplementing and at record levels. Sugar, white and refined grain breads and refined food product sales are declining as well.

And…more people have sworn off pharmacuetical drugs, and are going the natural healing route with their health…

You don't suppose…?…No, it must just be a coincidence.

Of course big pharma will try to assume all the credit with all their "wonder drugs".
