Jan 08, 2007 -- Organic foods can be deceiving
Organic foods are a fairly new phenomenon, but they seem to be sweeping the nation. Last year, 17,000 new products were introduced into the market and about 4,000 of them claim to be organic or all natural. So, how do you know if a product is truly organic? Well, just because a product says its organic doesnt mean it is. And, just because a product is organic doesnt mean its good for you. Lays new organic potato chips have sea salt and special oil, for instance. But the price is higher and the amount of fat and calories is exactly the same. The good news is that prices on organic food in general are going down. Organic products used to cost a ton more than regular products. But now they are available in all kinds of grocery stores, so the price is going down. Kim, one of our producers, challenged Clark to a yogurt taste test. He agreed to test organic low-fat yogurt versus regular low-fat yogurt, and well let you know the results.
