- Organic Shampoo - What You Need To Know Before You Buy
By: Christine Farlow | - Organic shampoo is the safest and healthiest shampoo on the market, right? Well, it depends... Is it the real thing, or is it an organic wannabe?

- Premium Dog Food - Are You Sure?
By: Steven Brown | - Soybean meal, wheat or wheat middlings, corn gluten meal, corn meal, whole/crushed corn, and maize are often used for their protein. They cost a lot less to include in a treat than the superior quality carbs or real-meat protein like chicken.

- Organic Food Nutrients
By: Eric4U | - Due to few regulations regarding the use of the term organic by pet food manufacturers, pet owners are often confused about what precisely organic pet foods are. They are often unaware that only certified organic pet food claims are regulated and enforced by the U.S. government, whereas any other, non-certified organic pet food claims are not verified by an unbiased third-party, and therefore may not be legitimate. This confusion over terminology is all the more regrettable sinc ...

- Is It Truly Organic? Verifying The Authenticity Of Organic Foods
By: Casey Yew | - If you want to be sure you are buying organic foods, you can't just look for a sign stating the food is in fact natural or organic. The price of the food, often higher than commercial varieties, isn't an indicator either. In fact, the only way you can tell for sure that a food and its producer have undergone the rigorous certification process to be labelled organic is to check for the official USDA Organic seal in the United State or the appropriate seal in other countries.

By: Josh Brennon | - One of the side effects of the subprime mortgage cycle we just went through is that many very solid loan programs went unnoticed and unused because there were "easier" options out there. Now with the disappearance of said subprime loans these "old faithful" loan programs are coming back. One of the best ones to resurface in recent weeks is the USDA Rural Development Loan.

By: Alec Moreland | - Nutrition in schools reached an all time low in the 1990's in America. School administrators and government officials were asleep at the wheel. Well, hopefully they were asleep at the wheel.

In any case, money was flowing i ...

Most likely, if you ask the average American Jew who doesn't keep kosher why the Torah has dietary laws, he'll tell you that the reason is because Moses didn't have USDA supervision to ensure that pigs are healthy and don't have trichinosis. Many modern Jews think that the laws of Kashrut are simply primitive health regulations that have become obsolete with modern methods of food preparation. But then, one w ...
