Talking All Things Organic!

Tune in on Wednesday, September 24, 2014 at 4:00 PM (EST) as we discuss all things organic with Dr. Jessica Shade of The Organic Center and Gwendolyn Wyard of the Organic Trade Association. On the show we will discuss organic standards, organic labeling, frequent organic misconceptions and much more. We will address the question: Does organic actually provide nutritional benefits that cannot be obtained from conventional food? We will also help alleviate the confusion of food labels. For example, natural does not mean organic. No question is off-limits as we dive into all things organic.
