This type of food product is unhealthy for you and your family, it is in fact a threat to your kids health.

Beware, Danger

The word “natural” is also a deceptive term being used by the commercially food industry. Nothing has to be natural for the word to be used on commercial food packaging. They print this word on all their packaging to deceive the less aware shopper and fool them into thinking that the commercial food does not contain any dangerous chemicals.

If you want true organic-food grown without insecticides, pesticides and herbicides, you must look for the official Organic seal.

(Several thousand people died every year from eating food purchased from the grocery stores (known fact-but no media attention. Just do an internet search.)

Store brands and farmers that claim to be organic. They can include a certain amount of chemical and still use standard organic labeling on their product. Some producers use deception in marketing their product as organic. If you do not personally know the farmer, then look for the Certified Organic label at your grocery store.

Recommended Markets
Check to see if you have a Whole Foods Market in your area.  They had the concern of public health at heart long before organic became a new marketing fad with the big chain super markets.) If one is in your area, stop in and start helping your local farmer (they purchase from local farmers) and help your family improve their health.
