Wild Oats: Can a Tomato Save the Earth?

"Can a tomato save the earth? It can if it's organic!
At Wild Oats, we believe in the benefits of organic food and think that buying organic is good for you, good for your family and a great way to make a positive impact on the environment. Plus our great selection of organic produce makes it easy to get started.

How about starting with an organic tomato? You're probably asking, "Can eating a tomato really help save the earth?" It can if it's a certified organic tomato. Why? Organic Certification begins on the farm where fruits and vegetables are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers. This means that you get a tomato that's free of chemical residues and the earth benefits from fewer toxic synthetic chemicals entering into the environment.
