Conscious Consumerism: Food Labels

This episode is part I in a mini-series on conscious consumerism. Today we’re discussing food labels, agricultural practices, and how our choices at the grocery store relate to the health of our planet and its beings.

We talk through the meaning behind the following food labels and agricultural certifications:

• Non-GMO

• USDA Organic

• Real Organic Project

• Regenerative Organic Certified

• Certified Regenerative (A Greener World)

We also break down the many descriptors used for both beef products and eggs, which tend to be particularly convoluted.

We’re all consumers, in that we all eat. Having the tools to understand some of the labels you might see when purchasing food can help you feel empowered to direct your money wisely in terms of your own well-being and of the Earth's ecological stability throughout the Anthropocene.
