This is just one of many such charts you can find on the web. This one seems to come from a reputable source.
Organic packaging is tremendously persuasive: it makes us feel eco-friendly, healthy, and self-righteous, all at once. If we can keep it in mind that most of these products are processed in giant factories by the same companies that make Coke and Twinkies, we might be more discerning, even as we still strive for the healthier (often organic) product. If you're concerned about putting more money into corporations, buying local is probably the answer--though I've yet to find a local toothpaste or toilet-paper company.
