Wassup gente, here’s a little something I found about organic food which caught my attention. I am trying to educate myself about organic food since the only organic products I ever consume are the chiles my mom grows in the backyard, and being the skeptic that I am, I always want to find out the other side of the coin.

I found a fella blogger bringing up some interesting issues regarding USDA’s National Organic Program allowing chemical, synthetic and non-synthetic substances in organic products. They setup a standard or criteria to follow but not sure how they actually enforce it.

I don’t necessarily agree with all her statements but her post is very informative and has plenty of links for further research, but the thought of having the USDA create a branch to standardize and commercialize organic products can be a bit alarming if in fact they are still containing all kind of chemicals and non-organic substances.

Check the list of substances allowed: http://www.ams.usda.gov/nop/NOP/standards/ListReg.html

Check out the blog and tell me what you think:
