      The politics behind organic foods is quite an interesting subject.

    After viewing the MonkeySee video, one thing that stood out to me was that organic foods with multiple ingredients may contain less than 100% organic food ingredients, with the remaining 5% approved non-organic ingredients. I was curious as to what that list was and this article does a nice job of explaining.
