A note about "Our Favorites"....
It is important to note that when given a choice, we always choose a company that is committed to bringing us foods and products that are organic and non-GMO and Fair-Trade certified. Not all the companies listed here fit this description, and not all companies listed here offer only organic, non-GMO, Fair-Trade products. Some of them do, and we applaud their efforts wholeheartedly. Other companies use part organic or part non-GMO ingredients. However, sometimes a product or a food, especially packaged foods, cannot be made as totally non-GMO or even totally organic. This is due to the fact that all the ingredients necessary to make that food or product are not available in an organic, non-GMO, or Fair-Trade certified state. Some foods are simply not designated as non-GMO yet, and not all countries participate in Fair-Trade agreements or certifications. In some cosmetic and skin care products, the company cannot list the product as “organic” if it contains water, a certain mineral, etc.
As consumers, it is our responsibility to read the labels in order to know what we are putting in and on our bodies. As consumers, we have the power to use our choices to affect change in the marketplace by choosing those foods and products that DO Support our bodies and our environment such as organic and non-GMO choices do. We can choose Fair-Trade products knowing that our choices help Support the people who grow and harvest these foods with better working conditions and wages. These people are literally Supporting us with the fruits of their labors. We should do the same for them. If you are unsure as to whether or not a food or product is organic, non-GMO, or Fair-Trade certified, ask the folks from whom you are buying it. If they don’t know, send a message to the company itself and ask. If they don’t respond, then you know your answer. If they are using organic, non-GMO, Fair-Trade ingredients (or the whole foods themselves), they will be happy to let you know.
As citizens and voters, we can make our choices in these matters known to our legislators reminding them that they work for the people - and not special interest groups. Let your choices and your voices define who you are – and what we want our world around us to be! Clean, organic, Free, fair, and just the way nature intended!
You are what you eat! Your skin is the largest organ in your body! Take care what you put in and on your body!
