Organic Food Sales Continue to Grow in Bad Economy
Sun, 03/29/2009 - 21:02 — gardenspot'Organic Food Sales Still Growing Despite Economic Woes'
"The market research firm Euromonitor International is reporting that global sales of organic food and beverages reached almost $23 billion in 2007, with the US accounting for around 45% of the total. Typical growth rates of 20 to 30 percent for organic food sales in the United States eased in the second half of 2008… said Tom Pirovano, director of industry insights at market research firm The Nielsen Co. Sales in December were up 5.6 percent, year on year, against a 25.6 percent rise a year earlier.
It's a good bet that any industry that is still growing in these economic times is in pretty good shape. Industry watchers suggest that the core organic consumer isn't jumping ship, they're just being more careful with their food dollars.

pumpkin
The word pumpkin originates from the word pepon, which is Greek for “large melon.” The French adapted this word to pompon, which the British changed to pompion and later American colonists changed that to the word we use today, “pumpkin.” The origin of pumpkins is not known, although pumpkins are thought to have originated in North America. The oldest evidence, pumpkin-related seeds dating between 7000 and 5500 B.C., were found in Mexico. Pumpkins are a squash-like fruit that range in size (less than 1 pound (0.45 kilograms) to over 1,000 pounds (453.59 kilograms)), shape, color, and appearance (smooth or ribbed).
Food Insecurity - China Recalls All Milk Over Melamine Contamination
Thu, 10/16/2008 - 22:12 — gardenspotChina Recalls All Milk Made Before Sept. 14
All liquid and powdered milk made in China before Sept. 14 has been ordered removed from shelves and tested for the chemical melamine. It's the first time since the tainted dairy scandal erupted last month that the government has ordered a blanket recall of products.
"Regardless of the brand or the batch, they must be taken off shelves, their sale must be stopped," the official news agency Xinhua said Tuesday, the Associated Press reported.
The diary products will only be allowed back on store shelves after they pass quality tests and are labeled as safe, said Xihhua, which did not provide any more details or explain why the recall was taking place now.
Until this week, only some types of milk powder and milk had been recalled in mainland China, the AP reported. A Sept. 16 recall was issued for 69 batches of milk powder made by 22 companies and a Sept. 19 recall was issued for liquid milk.
