Philip Morris and Wal Mart profit from your organic groceries
While plenty of folks in Chicago claim to "shop responsibly" by attempting to buy only organic products, the definition and certification of organic items continues to be frought with problems.
There is an interesting post on the Trib's food blog, The Stew, that traces the ownership of the largest organic food processor, Hain Celestial, and its shareholders. While "big organics" are making organic foods available to a much larger group of consumers, it's interesting to see who shares in the profits.
