If you’re concerned about what junk is making its way into what you’re eating and drinking, and want to make sure your food is safe for you and the environment, Food & Water Watch has got you covered. A group based in Washington, D.C., the good people at this organization are monitoring what’s going into our food and drink, and trying to enact change. Here’s what they’re all about, straight from the source:

At Food & Water Watch we believe that the public should be able to count on our government to oversee and protect the quality and safety of food and water. We deserve to know that food and water are free of unhealthy chemicals, bacteria and added hormones. We have the right to know where our food comes from with accurate labeling and we have the right to clean, affordable, publicly owned water. Food & Water Watch is dedicated to working on behalf of the public to assert and regain these rights as we lobby for effective government standards and oversight, organize the public to take action, and educate the public and the media on these basic issues.

Since its inception in 2005, the group has been integral in getting Starbucks to stop using milk with artificial hormones in over half its stores, educated Congress so new farm bills help farmers and not companies, and released too many reports to count concerning the safety and environmental impact of lots of the consumables we consume.

And, lookee here, they also have a blog and a take action section, too! It’s just like what we do here, except with food and water, and not with whatever it is we do do here. How exciting. You can by going to their website and learning more about the organization, and what you can do to pitch in.
