Until there is a real revolution to take this country back from the occupying traitors that have it now, and that goes for all levels of government that have jumped on the band wagon, nothing is going to change.

We have a bought and paid for government and the citizens of this country are prey for that government period!

I deliberately avoid “organic” foods for a number of reasons...one being political/philosophical,another being economic.

Interesting that China is not on the list. They are notorious for labeling food exports as “organic”, when the severe lack of oversight allows their farmers to slap on any label they want.

In addition, many companies buy from “organic” growers around the world, who simply wash the purchase or fake organic seed labels and sell it to us.

Happens especially to honey and most any other farm product that can carry the organic label. The higher cost is an invitation to food fraud.

Buy locally or ignore the labels.

Let the market decide. Organic demand is usually overstated.

Meanwhile, US corn is used to poison our bodies with high fructose corn syrup and our cars with ethanol.

I don’t know, maybe I’m just getting older, but it seems like fruit and vegetables don’t have the flavor they used to have. Some have really thick peels, which aren’t easy to digest. Not sure if it has anything to do with the genetic engineering. Maybe it’s because of the storage. I’ve wondered if GM food is a contributing factor to nutritional deficiencies that we’re starting to see. You can’t trust the “data” anymore.

And US consumers can be assured that the “organic” products from places like Turkey, Romania and India are truly organic because it is stamped right there on the manifest.

U.S. farmers have been systematically pushed into growing mostly GMO crops.

That's undeniably true.

Economic pressure is a dangerous force to ignore.

Watch the film “GMO OMG”. Our family is almost totally Non GMO today.

American consumers are guinea pigs for Monsanto, which produces both the weed killer Round Up and the soy and corn seeds that can tolerate being sprayed with Round Up.

Think about everything in your diet that contains corn or soy. The European Union has a label law, requiring any foods with GMO contents to be displayed on the packaging. Of course Europeans overwhelmingly choose not to purchase the GMO foods. They have even banned Monsanto’s Round Up as studies have determined it has harming the bee population.

and these other countries lie, they say it is organic, but it isn’t...while the grower in the US can’t compete.

They have tested these foods from other countries, want to know one item that keeps coming up in the tests?

Lead and Mercury, Lead is still used in gasoline in some countries and many other countries have just recently stopped.

And I loved the story of the guy who got a tapeworm in his brain because the farmer in the other country was using human feces that was fresh.
