Just Eat Organic

Gary Hirshberg, founder and CE -Yo of Stonyfield Farms, has become a well known spokesperson for organic foods. He has made numerous efforts in informing the public about what goes on in the food market and how consumers can rise above the industry. It's important to know how powerful we are as consumers! We have the power to readjust the genetically enhanced, fabricated food that we consume every day!!! All other food brands are racing to the organic foods industry because it's what the consumers want!

He also started a year long organic education campaign with YouTube, which involves a video contest open to the public where people can share their stories about organic food.

Check out the funny rap video Hirshberg made himself!!! Just Eat Organic

The #1 thing you can do as a consumer is EDUCATE yourself!

Bleeding Heart Bakery & Cafe is a deliscious restaurant that I frequently visit serving two locations on the north side of Chicago
