Since last year, sales of organic baby food have jumped nearly 18 percent, double the overall growth of organic food sales, according to the marketing information company ACNielsen.

Found this story on CNN. Makes me happy that it is getting mainstream attention!

That's great. I hope an increased demand will lower prices because fresh organic produce is still horribly expensive.

Unfortunately all it will do is help lower standards of what is "organic" while small producers are bought out by big companies like Gerber who can afford to lobby for those standards to be lowered and before you know it organic will = only 75% of the normal amount of pesticides, fungicides and peoplecides sprayed on your produce.

Its much cheaper and easier to make "babyfood." Of course, I think the whole concept of babyfood is a marketing ploy.
