Non-GMO Food Market to Hit $800 Billion by 2017 (i.e. Organic) Environmental Leader

BySustainMe

Non-GMO Food Market to Hit $800 Billion by 2017 · Environmental Management & Energy News · Environmental Leader:

Notice that Non-GMO does not necessarily mean “organic”…

Should be cool to read the full report: http://www.packagedfacts.com/Non-GMO-Foods-7822141/

But that would cost about $3,000… So we’ll have to read the discussion on it.

But the trends in whole foods — as in Whole Foods, Hanes, Chipoltles, etc. — has been more than impressive. The organic section of all grocery stores is growing like weeds, to offer a green mixed metaphor.

Looking forward to more momentum on the organic front.

    There’s a great study out related to letting people eat processed foods, as much as they want, verses giving people healthy food… as much as they want. Personally, I wonder if the salt alone is not part of the problem. Those people who eat processed foods for the required 15 days, eat more and gained more weight. This seemed like an exceptionally well designed study. One group did the 15 days healthy first, then junk-y…

Of course the super fast growth of Whole Foods doesn’t hurt, but…
