They can still contain "natural flavors" and unhealthy ingredients. I was recently asked to review a sports drink that the company was proudly advertising as certified GMO free. While I totally respect and appreciate that more companies are going organic and GMO free, a drink that is full of GMO-free sugar is *still* an unhealthy sugar drink in my books 😉 As you said, the challenge is navigating priorities and looking for healthy, organic AND local foods.

Thanks for sharing this on Waste Not Want Not Wednesday! I'll be pinning it and featuring it this week and hope to see you back again 🙂

I totally agree trying to fulfill the criteria of organic, local, unpackaged and affordable is not easy!

I also dislike the fact that many organic options are imported across the world- supermarket organic beef is often (usually?) from South America.

I find my shopping is a constant balance between organic, local, unpackaged and affordable. It swings in various directions, but trying to fulfill all of those criteria is difficult.
