The Booming Organic Trend



I must say that when i was searching the web i was shocked at how popular that organic food is becoming in todays world. There is organic being mentioned at every turn from late night talk shows to all over youtube.

There are grocery stores that are popping up all over the place that are just dedicated to Organic foods such as Trader Joes and Whole Foods Market.

Even when you go to your normal grocery stores such as Safeway and Albertsons, there are special organic sections. And they just keep getting bigger and bigger.

There is of course the notion that Organic food is a lot more expensive, but whenever you go to either one of the organic only markets or to Safeway you find that some things are and then some things are not, just like everything else.

Being healthy is the new big trend that is sweeping the nation and organic foods are jumping right on the train. You can basically buy anything you want now from cereal to organic fruits and vegies. "I think that eating organic foods is helping out the world and thats great," said Stephanie Wagner, NAU student.

Food is not the only thing that you can get organic, they make organic lotions and oils, also there are organic bubble bath. Just shows how big this organic thing is really getting today.

There is a lot of money to be made in the organic business, this was proven by the merger of Wild Oats Market and Whole foods that took place. The buyout was for 565 million dollars. That is a lot of money that is being spent of green foods.
