Sadly, I feel the same way about "organic" and "free range" labels. I wish I could feel good about spending more money to buy sustainable food, but I think it's mostly bogus marketing.

The organic labels vary from country to country. The toughest one is in France: AB for Agriculture Biologique

The tougher the rule the better the food, it's up to the consumer to make the wisest choices an support the appropriate producers.

The cartoon underlines today's false assumptions: cars, nuke and fuel can be green. They ain't. Train is the greenest transport mean. Overconsumption of energy is the CORE problem. The demise of the dollar will force the US to acknowldge this reality, when petrol will become unaffordable.
