Right. For me it's more about how the animals are treated. And yes it does taste better. Getting our food that comes on a slow cargo freighter/train/whatever from China/chile/etc is ridiculous and so wasteful. Sometimes the same food passes from our country to China and vice versa. Why in the world would we ever need chicken that's imported from China while we're exporting it? Some obscenely high paid executive wants to make some extra pennies. How that's possible given the freight costs I don't know, but buying local and eat food in season only seems like a much better solution for our own health and the environment. |
I just purchased a bag of nature's promise heart healthy bread from giant store, I though it's a reliable brand, but apparently I am wrong. The bread is supposed to sell by Oct 11, but I found some molds on pieces of bread.

Man this just blows my day. |
Please give an example! NATURES PROMISE FOOD LINE IS FROM STOP AND SHOP NOT WHOLE FOODS |
NATURES PROMISE FOOD LINE IS FROM STOP AND SHOP NOT WHOLE FOODS Seeing that this thread is from 2009, and we are days away from 2017, I do not suspect that you will get a response to this request for validation. |
Organic doesn't imply anything other than meeting the minimum requirements. Ever. For anyone. |
This is a very old thread full of confused posters and misinformation. |
[quote=Anonymous]Which food is from China? I read about certain fish that's risky. So I'm always careful about that.[/quote]
I found some frozen Organic Green Beans from china, have to read where there from on label, I do try to get food items at least in US, or closer states, why should I get green beans shipped so far, they can grow closer |
OLD THREAD warning. That is all. |
Almost 8 years old. I think this one gets a prize. |
I wish I could time travel back to the ancient days when this thread originated! I hadn't yet made several poor life choices, and I weighed 20 pounds less than I do today. |
What is Nature's Promises address, phone number or email. It's impossible to find it other than being linked to Giant Foods.

Has anyone stopped to think about the fact that Nature's Promise (and other brands) label their organic chicken as "fed all vegetarian diet" - as if that's a selling point? Hello?!! Chickens are not vegetarians by nature. Chickens love to eat insects, worms, and small rodents, and that is healthy for them! I cannot help but wonder how on earth Nature's Promise lists "free range" and "all vegetarian diet" right next to each other on the label. If they are free range at all, they can't possibly be all vegetarian. Am I missing something?
I hope I've pissed off at least one of you by opening this old thread. Ha ha ha! Seems to really get under some people's skin... like commenting on something non-recent is such a terrible sin. Bite me. |
the response is as I expected. I moved to Cumberland, MD from the Denver area and am shocked at how difficult it is to find "clean and affordable" food. We need to demand of our grodcers to carry organic, and to label the gmo products. Our legislators esp in D.C. are bought and paid for my Big AG, Big Chem, and Big Pharm. Healthcare here is also poor as not much alternative medicines. Big Pharm I know has paid over $1trillion to keep marijuana illegal. But, in Co, once it was legalized, less alchohol and opiate consumption,,,and I mean legally.
Time to join campaigns or just write and get your friends to write and call your local legislators demainding food that is not poisoned. Also, educate your family and friends as people here who think they are so educagted, no nothing about gmo and roundup (again the lobbyists, the lying media). Organic community gardens are another option in the city. If you can find vacant land, ask the owner if you can use it for a garden until they sell or use it. See if you can get grants to develop a local community garden, and with raised beds, you can plant a garden yourself. Buy a grass fed steer and split it with your friends or neighbors (need a freezer). But, yes, we must fight back. We are now the 2nd generation living less than our grandparents,,because after WW2 Monsanto etal started to poison our food, replace real food with chemicals flavorings and colors. Mc Donalds came to be, and they are probably the first food vendors to replace real milk with powdered chemicals. and stil do. When ice cream only has to have 10%milk, as I understand it, then we are in trouble. |
I AGREE WITH ALL OF THE ABOVE. |
