Just because it’s “Organic” doesn’t mean it’s good for you. The big food conglomerate marketeers are cashing in on the fact that most people figure if it says it’s organic then it must be good for me.
Don’t be fooled!
Organic sugar is still sugar. Organic or not – it’s refined, has virtually no nutritive value so is still an ‘empty’ calorie.
What really chaps my hide is the little containers of organic yogurt marketed to babies. One major brand has 16 g of sugar per serving or approximately 1 tablespoon – that’s 14% of a serving. How is that healthy?
Whole grains? Just what does that mean? You can’t tell me that Trix is now a health food because it’s made with whole grains!
No Trans Fat! So what? It’s still fried in a vat of oil and made with refined ingredients.
Need fiber? How about eating an apple or an orange? It’s so much better for you than a glass of clear fiber. And cheaper on the pocket book too!
Ok, enough ranting. Eat whole foods!
