Food Labels and You

As the importance of eating organic moves beyond being just a fad, and people become aware of the fine print on their food labels, more and more companies are now required to list all of the things in their items. For example, the soda can or box of mac and cheese in your cupboard should list, in order of weight (and therefore, amount) the ingredients, good, bad and ugly.
We all know this about our food labels, but what else do they do, really?

As part of their "Food Mondays" special programming, Chicago Public Radio WBEZ recently ran a great segment on food labels, and we encourage you to check it out and see what's in store for the future of food.

For one thing, many companies are going forward with labeling their items as GMOs now, because that is what the public wants. While this might cost a bit more for some small-scale producers, it is great news for the public who should rightfully know what's in their food.

By shopping local and organic, you'll hopefully always be able to know that the source of your food is not only as fresh as it can be, but also as natural as possible!
