Organic is hot right now. We open our wallets to anything and everything organic but is it just good marketing?

Certified Organic means that the final product must be 95% organic and has already been certified by an agent from an accredited agency. While it is not 100% organic, produce or agricultural products bearing this seal were produced according to organic standards so you know they are legit.

Fit's Tip: When buying organic, try to buy Certified Organic.

Other terms to watch: Organic, 100% Organic, Made with Organic Ingredients.

    Good call FitSugar. I try to get my produce from Trader Joes. I never thought in a million years I'd ever doubt the produce dept. in regular grocery stores. It just sucks that we have to pay more for it. But my health is worth it.

    I know a couple people who get irritated because the organic produce is kept near non-organic. Personally, I don't think there is enough cohabitation occuring to warrant the drama. I got a list of the 10 most important things to buy organic and I try to stick to it. Otherwise, it is just too expensive.
    Do you want me to post the list, DRC?

    Please, post the list! It's true 3 sweeties, they put it literally next to the non-organic.

    Hey everyone- If you are interested, I posted a blog about the most important items to buy organic. I printed mine out and put it in my wallet for when I go to the grocery store. I hope it helps you. I never knew what I "should" buy, and what was not as important. This way, you can go organic on a budget, or just limit the things you eat non-organic.
    And no, I am not wearing Birkenstocks right now- I don't even own any! lol
