In just one hour, within the United States, 1 million land animals are killed or slaughtered for food. That’s 10 billion each year, just in the United States, and that doesn’t include any animals or fish pulled from a body of water. Currently, there’s 307 million Americans of various ages… so does this statistic represent an over-indulgence in animal protein to you?
The point here: eat less protein and consume more organic produce!

The “100% Organic” label is self explanatory; every step along the way in making a particular product and every ingredient used within that particular product are required to be organic or “the way nature intended it”. The next label defined, simply printed “Organic” requires that 95% of the steps and ingredients within a particular product are certified organic. Lastly, the “Made With Organic” label only requires 75% of a particular product contain certified organic procedures and ingredients.
The point being made here… make sure to read and understand your labels. Some companies use the “made with organic” label to fool customers into paying a premium for their products, when the definition is quite loose indeed.
