Re: an alternative label (fwd)



We're a creative lot..lets get on it... PureGreen?  CareGrown?  HonestGreen?
HonestPure? 

Just got a hold of the new 'Organic Gardening Magazine' and ' Yoga
Journal'.. YJ has a big cover spread "Growing Pains..Will Organic Food Stay
Organic?" and a 10 plus page article.  OG doesn't show it anywhere on the
cover but has a 2 pager, 'What is Organic..Soon the USDA will define and
regulate organic food...." Haven't even had a chance to read them yet..just
glad the word is getting out.  I bet there are some good ideas there..
