Check Your Fruit’s Details Any Where in the World

You ever wonder where your fruit came from? And if you’re like me, you probably think it’s just “labeledâ€? organic and they’re in fact pumping it full of chemicals and hormones rbST style. Dole Food now labels its bananas with a three-digit organic code. Visit Doleorganic.com, plug in the code and you’ll see the plantation it grew on, organic certification details, worker photos, and get this: satellite maps images via Google Earth. Course this could all be easily fabricated. Credence could be brought to the table by having the workers take monthly pictures with recent newspapers – kind of like the kidnappers do in the flix.

I have been in Dole´s organic farms and I had checked their work there.
I am an IOIA trained organic inspector and their product is trully organic. There it is a very serious Organic Certification Agency checking their operations, Control Union Certifications from Holland.
They are doing a great job, it is not easy at all growing organic bananas and pineapples down there.
And now they are showing us all transparency by letting us meet the farms. I will love to know what is behind my food as Dole is doing. Don´t you like to know where your fruits, vegetables, milk, cereals are comming from, how do they treat their workers and how is the production process??? I do.
Good for you Dole!
I am afraid that if i learn of making process for most products i buy, thought i refer the to category of healthy food, i will start to grow grains and vegetables myself.
Once i sat eating trying to imagine how the grain grows, what stages it passes before i get cereal on my table and i couldn’t, I just don’t know how grain is processed and if it’s really harmless.
