Dean Foods pulls bait-and-switch on 'organic' Silk soymilk

Until early 2009, Silk brand soy milk was made using organic soybeans. But, Dean Foods (owner of the Silk brand) quietly switched to conventional soybeans, which are often grown with pesticides. They kept the same UPC barcodes on their products, and they kept the product label virtually the same, only replacing the word "organic" with "natural" in a way that was barely noticeable. They also kept the price the same, charging consumers "organic" prices for a product that was now suddenly made with conventionally-grown soybeans. Please click below to read the full article.

Long Distance Discounts?

I was recently asked by Amy this question... If I join your culinary club, and live out of state are your specials still good? I am looking for products, but maybe I would be better locally, however I LOVE this site and all the information here. And my answer is... Yes! If you do not live local my specials still apply so contact me to join my Culinary Club. And please let me know where you live as I might have a local rep who can help you out. I LOVE hearing from you on my blog - so please keep the questions & comments coming. If you have a special request for a recipe made the Wildtree way (meaning we swap out the unhealthy products for clean ones), or if you would like to know more about a certain topic, such as why is High Fructose Corn Syrup so bad for you when it's just made from corn...just ask!
