This is good, I shop at a local organic co-op, but find they have too much latitude in their standards. Large food chain is stocking much more organic, but it is next to or close to non-organic, produce with pesticide, etc. Am I trying to be too much of a purist ?

Great news! Glad to see this happen at WFs. It shouldn't have taken this long though however better late than never.

It's hard to imagine a clearer indication of what has happened to the "organic" label.

Large corporations realize that they can get higher prices for certified "organic" products.

It should not be surprising that corporations have fielded more time, money and effort to achieving this certification. Anyone who thought that "organic" certification favored small, local producers should take a fresh look at their actions.

Now if we could only get the chemicals out of the products, we might actually start to give meaning to the word "organic" in make up and lotions.

Read your make up and lotion ingredients: ethy.... propyl.... paraben..... benzene. ALL toxic, all non organic.... yet somehow included in "organic' products. Cyanide is organic.... but what is it doing in my eye shadow?

Concerned, what puzzles me is that all the high end lines of cosmetics don't have to list ingredients so we have no idea what they put in their products. I think some investigation is called for here. And what eye shadow are you using that has "Organic" cyaninde in it?
