Excellent find! It’s funny you posted this link. I was just telling someone today that organic really doesn’t mean organic anymore. Look at the garbage in our air – what comes down on organic produce when it rains? And even if they use ground water to water the crops, boy oh boy, the same garbage is there too! Anyway, I looked under the Multinational Ownership section. Who knew all those big names owned those little healthy names? And did you read that list of Boycott Brands? So, what’s left? Thanks for that!

There's plenty left, but you pay a pretty penney, I'll tell ya! Now I wonder about Wild Oats brand and what company backs them! Walnut Acres is still pristine and the Northern California companies are OK, like Diestel turkey and chicken and the smaller off brands of oils and fruits. Guess we'll have to label read in the whole foods stores, now, too! I need to print this out just to remember! Geeze! Did they mention Amy's as a corporate owned brand? See! bc
