Organic Food - Part II

By Noah

A beautiful sunny March afternoon spent in Whole Foods Market in the heart of Yorkville, and I felt positively on top of the world. I had a grocery cart brimming with veggies, fruits, meats, bread, cereal, nuts and pastas – and all of them had the word ORGANIC plastered on their side. After some 30 minutes wandering the aisles of this aesthetically stunning grocery store staring at rows upon rows of produce, it dawned on me that it looked somewhat identical to any other grocery store, with 2 major differences.

A) Almost everything was organic.

Sweet.

B) Everything was uber expensive.

Not so sweet.

JUICE IT!

By Braeden

A couple of months ago, I was horrified when my friend Emily (one of our lovely contributors)  told me about how "not from concentrate" juice is actually a lot worse than the frozen stuff. Why? Because the frozen juice concentrate has fewer preservatives added to it, because it's, well, frozen. The cartons boasting "100% not from concentrate" labels are in fact filled with a liquid that has already spent a year in an industrial storage tank.
