Truly Certifiable

If a government has done good work and no one knows about it, was it ever done?

This weekend, I learned of a new certification for organic food in Canada. The new standard, which takes effect on June 30th, was created by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. To be eligible to display the label, the food must be at least 95% organic.

With increased public concern over food safety, many products claim to be organic, but it is next to impossible to know the truth. This new symbol will provide Canadians with a trustworthy guide.

I have no doubt this new certification for organic food will be a hit with soccer moms. The government would stand to benefit quite a bit by actively promoting this new standard.
