I know I always pat myself on the back whenever I make a "smart" choice like Kashi Go Lean cereal and a Naked Superfoods juice for breakfast. Now I know those choices, while whole-grainy and natural, are still handing the profits to Tony the Tiger and the people who brought you Clear Pepsi. Bummer. Not to knock the health benefits (and snaps for Kashi having reduced their packaging now), but I for one would just like to know when I'm helping Ma & Pa Greenie v. Monsanto. About a week ago, the New York Times gave us this very necessary reminder about the deceptive awesomeness of the word "organic." Just because it's organic doesn't mean it's animal-friendly, carbon-neutral, anti-corporate, or even healthy.

Naked Superfoods juice? Is that something Justin "feeds" you before you go to work each morning? I thought this was a food blog, not some kind of pornologue about the lurid things that happen at 7 AM behind close doors on the gritty streets of the Monroe Ave. area.
