Organic Foods


I was a little surprised to learn that most of the 25 major food companies own at least one major organic brand. Here is a list of some of them:

Odwalla (Coca Cola)
Morningstar ( Kellogg)
Horizon (Dean Foods)
Boca Foods ( Kraft)
Earth’s Best (Heinz)
Cascadian Farms (General Mills)
Naked Juice (Pepsi)

It's a good thing that organic brands are becoming more mainstream and available in stores other than health food stores. I'm a little leary about eating foods owned by Kraft or Pepsi though. My favorite brand, Amy's, I'm happy to say, is not owned by a large food company yet, as far as I can tell.
