    \n\nAre you eating as healthily as you can? In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby examine the ins and outs of organic food. Discover what makes organic food organic, and how it differs from non-organic food. You'll find out which government organization is in charge of regulating organic labels and about the laws controlling what can be labeled organic. Plus, you can learn about the benefits and drawbacks to organic farming, as well as what its supporters claim about the health benefits of organic food. So microwave yourself a nice bowl of organic, fair-trade popcorn and enjoy the movie!\n

    Great find. Brain Pop is a great site with plenty of useful information on a variety of topics for educators. And I'm not just saying that because I sit on the Brain Pop Advisory Board. http://www.brainpop.com/about/advisors/

  • The difference between "organic" and "natural" foods is that the word "natural" isn't regulated. Manufacturers can call any product "natural," except for meat and poultry. It would be up to the consumer to decide whether to trust the company. Not so with organics.

    Hi Steve, when I try to access this site it asks for a "UserGroup Identification". How did you access this resource?

    I accessed all of these resources through the Bank Street Library databases. Since I did my work from the school I had direct access. I assume that if you use the Bank Street Library log on information that everyone received, you would be able to access this resource.

    Unfortunately the code that we were given doesn't work on this prompt. I will write to Kristen and see if there's a fix for this.

    Dov - were you able to get a code to access this doc? I would love to read this as it seems to be relevant to my search! Thanks

    Unfortunately not. Steve, I noticed that this article came from the Albany Times Union. If you don't mind could you try to find the article on their website and post the link in the comments here or as a separate bookmark. Thanks.
