Bullshit: The OTA is Full of It

The OTA does not believe in, support or advocate for organic foods. Nope. They believe in, support, and advocate for the integrity of the organic label. Big difference.

"Increased competition" is a euphemism for racketeering. I'll assume that foreign organic soy bean producers are indeed organic.

Did you know that when Michele Obama installed an organic garden at the White House that she unleashed a massive shudder down the spines of the Midwest Crop Life Association? Organic! Gave them the willies.

Reform the USDA’s Organic Program

Peter Bockenthien » Friday, March 20 2009

Because the Organic Trade Association has actively lobbied and/or paid lobbyists to weaken organic standards, we need to lobby President Obama and Ag.Sec Vilsack to reform the USDA's Organic Program.

Who Owns Organic

Compost

Compost is more than a fertilizer, more than a soil conditioner. It's the symbol and means of a continuing life. Nature has been making compost eons before humans first walked the Earth.
