I definitely don’t want a product that says only “100% natural”. It’s been my experience that it’s those products that are NOT organic, for example, that use “100% Natural” to LOOK natural even if they’re not – and to me, that’s akin to greenwashing. And while we’re on it, I would like to see all companies label their products as having 100% biodegradeable surfectants, too. Impossible to go to Target and find any except for 1 or 2 shampoos that indicate their surfectants are biodegradeable.

As a maple syrup maker in Vermont, I notice that the “organic” branding has not produced much in the way of an increase in demand/price.

One theory: many organic products on store shelves are perceived by non-cause-oriented consumers as being slightly inferior in taste or quality. Bananas is a good example, where the organic ones aren’t as flavorful, and most consumers aren’t thinking about the nature of the companies selling the tasty ones. This anti-branding may rub off on products that are indeed superior for their organic natures.
