The word “organic” seems to be spoken more and more with each passing year, as consumers are demanding more knowledge about where their food comes from (for good reason). Presence of the word “organic” has become one of the major contributors to whether a consumer views a label as “clean”. There seems to be a new Netflix documentary released each week on something to do with the farming industry, but what’s all the hype about? And should you be buying organic?
Well, that decision is entirely up to you, and there are PLENTY of factors that should be taken into account. But what we can do is give you the facts on what “organic” means and, for those that want to, offer some tips to help increase intake of organic goods.
Join me as I sit down with Kathryn Tadio, adjunct professor at George Mason University, as we clear the air around the word "organic".
