Deconstructing Food Labels: Organic, Grass-Fed, Non-GMO and More
When you're trying to shop "healthier" it can be overwhelming to understand what labels like USDA certified organic, grass-fed, Non-GMO, or free-range actually mean.

Can you really trust that these labels accurately reflect what they appear to claim? What about foods that use natural pesticides versus synthetic ones -- are they truly safe?

Host Lisa Davis covers a selection of these labels, as well as the importance of paying close attention to the Environmental Working Group's Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 lists.
