Pollan Review

After reading Pollan's article, I have honestly taken into consideration what I buy at the grocery store because how can we really know what is truly organic and what is not? The part that really got to me is when Pollan expressed his thoughts on organic TV dinners, "perhaps by sitting down to enjoy one of the microwaveable organic TV dinners (four words I never expected to see conjoined) stacked in the frozen food case. How's that for having it both ways?". For companies to put that on their frozen food products obviously makes it sound better and it completely goes over the customer's head. I might just be super oblivious but I had never noticed how contradictive that is for a product to be labeled an "organic TV dinner" if anything a TV dinner is the opposite. Companies really do try to mislead you into buying their products. Another example is when he talks about the different types of "organic" milk. The first milk label said that the milk is ultrapasteurized which extends shelf life of the product, the second milk label said that the milk had gone through normal pasteurization methods making it more organic than the last one, and the third milk label said it was not pasteurized at all and was 100% organic. How will we ever really know which one is the most organic and which companies are selling the real deal? I agree with what Pollan has argued throughout his article.
