Another reason to buy local and in season

I just found a map of large corporations involved in organic food. It looks like several of the brands I like to buy are no longer little guys. Boca, Arrowhead Mills, Kashi, Horizon, Rice Dream and West Soy to name a few. I know some of these are owned by Hain Celestial which appears to have the common good at heart, but it shares alliances with Cargill and Heinz which have less than savory reputations including genetic engineering and toxins. according to profiles at Responsible Shopper.

So if you really want to know what's in your food grow it yourself or get to know the people who do.
