Organic Foods from China?
I saw a press release from a company called China Organic Agriculture, which currently focuses on organic rice. At a time when Chinese food products have caused so many health problems becasue of contamination, the idea of having that country enter the organic food supply is disconcerting. According to a page no longer on the company's site, but still in Google's cache, selling to the US is apparently one of its goals. Given the New York Times story about the widespread nature of problem foods, I think my organic purchasing will stick to home grown products.
