These days branding is everything. Treehuggers used to just look for organic food, but now have to distinguish among "Biodynamic", "Food Alliance Certified," "local" and even "beyond organic." Some companies are making up their own names, see Tairwa The original term "organic" is now governed by Federal law, and can include pesticides and be made by farma giants. Many object to its standards and create their own. This can create problems- Treehugger wants folk to have useful decision-making information, but such branding confusion in the organic food market is lamentable ::Wall Street Journal by [LA]with a little help from [WM]
