Product Description

Component meals narrative, portion investigation, element adventure story, Organic is an eye-opening and entertaining appear into the anything goes world behind the organic label. It is also a wakeup call about the dubious origins of meals labeled organic. After consuming some suspect organic walnuts that supposedly had been developed in Kazakhstan, veteran journalist Peter Laufer chooses a handful of products from his property pantry and traces their origins back to their source. Along the way he learns how easily we are tricked into taking “organic” claims at face worth.With organic foods readily available at supermarket chains, confusion and outright deception about labels have grow to be commonplace. Globalization has permitted food from hugely corrupt governments and businesses overseas to pollute the organic market with food that is something but. The organic environment is like the Wild West: oversight is virtually nonexistent, and deception runs amok. Laufer investigates so-known as organic farms in Europe and South America as properly as in his personal backyard in the Pacific Northwest.The book examines what constitutes organic and by whom the definitions are created. The answers will stun readers, who have been sold a questionable, hugely suspect, and even false bill of goods for years. View the book trailer for Organic at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owiACnN69rY.
