My reply in Cloud's scary-as-hell post about Chinese food applies here as well.

Good info, xo.

As a side note, here's a BusinessWeek article from last October, on the current state of the organic food business.
Quote:
As food companies scramble to find enough organically grown ingredients, they are inevitably forsaking the pastoral ethos that has defined the organic lifestyle. For some companies, it means keeping thousands of organic cows on industrial-scale feedlots. For others, the scarcity of organic ingredients means looking as far afield as China, Sierra Leone, and Brazil -- places where standards may be hard to enforce, workers' wages and living conditions are a worry, and, say critics, increased farmland sometimes comes at a cost to the environment.
This reinforces my concerns about not knowing where what you're eating is coming from.
