As some of you know I try to eat organic foods or the nutritional value, and I like to think that grass fed, cage free, free range, and all the rest of the catchy slogans actually mean what I think their saying.

Whatever is a fellow to do? I found a site that had a scorecard for organic egg producers, (eggs), and I checked that to see whose eggs are actually from happy chickens.
I guess I will have to ask around, and find out where my fellow concerned citizens get their eggs. I am pretty sure that if I were to get up before noon on Saturdays, I could get organic barnyard eggs at the farmers market.
So I have learned to stay vigilant, and keep an eye on who is producing the goods and services that I enjoy and trust.
There seems to be a certain point when a small business becomes too large to maintain the integrity that was responsible for its initial success.
When a business becomes huge and incorporated, the tendency is to neglect the product and focus on the bottom line. This means that as a consumer, one must constantly investigate to be sure that the picture on the box represents the product within.
