This would tell consumers that is was not produced with sewage sludge
or was not irradiated nor were transgenic plants used. That the
livestock were not given antibiotics and that processed foods
contained the minimum of non organic materials that were absolutely
essential.
They have not included that in their list of prohibited phrases and
all the negative publicity will ensure that consumers understand that
all the people they have trusted to produce their food are still doing
a good job.
We can still smile a little even though the situation appears serious.
NOT USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC, mmm, that has kind of a nice ring to it,
don't you think?
People created this market and have grown it into an expanding global
culture and the USDA and the large corporations are not going to be
able to stop it or co-opt it. We need to increase consumer and grower
contact both face to face and at a distance.
I really enjoy all the discussion. Locally I will be trying to contact
our regional certification group and get as much direct farm food as
we can (just in case the proposed rule becomes final...).
