An I-Team investigation. What do you know about organic foods? It's pesticide free and more expensive...but it's worth it... Right? Not necessarily. Would you believe *organically grown* in china? How organic can that be? The I-Team's Roberta Baskin has been investigating and has questions for one major food chain.

After watching this video I am even at a greater loss for where to find products Made in America. Shame on me for assuming that Whole Foods was looking out for its customer's best interests.
Does it honestly cost less to ship frozen food product on a barge from China than it would to have it driven from any of the millions of farms in the U.S.?
And how hard would it be for me to find a local farmers market where I *know* the product is organic because of the self policing nature of farmers markets. Or are they even worse than big organic chain stores like Whole Foods?
