    Teens Healthy(!) Habits is a good overview of what kids currently eat and how healthy their choices are. Again, may be a good article to go with the other kids perspective looks at eating and organic foods.

    I am a big fan of the Open Directory and this is a great listing of sites for kids around food production and farming. It may be a great place to get started.

Custom Newspaper Product  Document - 3 views

  • 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.

      Great piece of information I did not find elsewhere.
  •  
    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.

    This is the best I came up with. http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article-1G1-163029099/organic-foods-taking-root.html I will keep searching.

38 Non-Organic Ingredients Found in 'USDA Organic' Foods - The Daily Green - 2 views

    • Steve Goss
       
      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.

      There's a great quote around the 1:00 minute mark where Ms. Davis makes clear that organic does not mean healthier.
  •  
    This MonkeySee video gives a clear and concise explanation of the USDA standards for labeling food organic.
