Its nice to see that organic is becomming main-stream and affordable. I noticed in today's Aldi's ad, they are offering an organic line of food. I can't remember now what it is called. It costs more, of course, than their normal food, but it is still very resonably priced. :applause:

Do you think organic at Aldi's is too good to be true? I mean, Aldi's doesn't have the same standards as Whole foods, could it be that the food isn't "as organic"?

Is this packaged food with the USDA organic seal on it or is it just labeled as "organic"? There's a difference between the two. Look in the natural living forum in the book suggestion thread - there was a book I had from the library that Julie said she also had read and it explained the differences in all the labeling. I am toh right now with an unhappy little one in my arms so I'm sorry I can't be of more help right at the moment.
