Decoding Food Labels

Posted by Becca Borawski : Tuesday, Mar 30, 2010

When you are grocery shopping and attempting to decipher all the various labels on the food, do you ever wonder what "organic" really means? Or if "grass-fed" means it was only fed grass, or was it just at some point fed grass? Sadly, it is not necessarily to the benefit of food companies to be honest about how their food products were grown or raised. It is incumbent upon all of us as consumers, and human beings concerned with our health and the health of the planet, to know what we are purchasing.

For help decoding food labels, check out this article, "The Common Sense Guide to Organic and Other Food Labels." And then, if you're still curious for more, visit the Beef Label Decoder and Where Is My Milk From?

In Their Own Words...
Our kids, eight and ten, have been going for six months now and they LOVE it. This is a real workout/conditioning class and they are super proud of their accomplishments. This is a great addition to any sport that your kids may already be doing. They are the strongest they have ever been and they look forward to going....In addition they learn about healthy eating. - Jackie T.
