Labels tell us what products contain and where they are from. I am adding a link regarding organic foods and why it's important to monitor closely what you buy and eat. If you have a farmer's market near you my guess is that is where you will buy the food that is grown with the most care but be aware that even there it is possible to buy foods that are grown in the mass culture of agribusiness. Ask whether the "farmer" has grown this vegetable, egg, meat themselves and whether they are free range, authentically organic, what pesticides if any they use..as you become familiar with these ideas it becomes clear the more you know the better you eat. I am adding two links. One a filmed article on organic food that comes from places like China and Mexico..not bastions of environmental purity. The other a link to the grow NY site which is full of great ideas about growing food and has schedules of when and where the green markets we have in the metropolitan manhattan area are happening.
