After all that bs I want to be able to say most organic food is safer than
most
food grown with harmful chemicals for man and the earth. . Do you think
organic
food is safer? That should be the frist question? That is what folks have
been
lead to feel. Is is safer. I feel 200000 have already voted. Do you want
to be counted in that number. customers buy organic food because they feel it
is safer bottom line. you can dance around it all you want that is the bottom
line a lot of folks feel organic food is safer for them and their children.
what do you think if you are going to make organic growers carry the cross
give them the crown. look here if organic food has to have only 10% of the
pesticides as the EPA allows for conventional food in residue tests and will
probably be tested 100 %more often . than conventional food and imported
food
than that part of the law alone make it 90 per cent safer. how can you
say it
is not safer?
.you cannot force organic growers to carry the cross and you can not take away
our crown. give organic back to the people. keep organic free of politics.
politics taken from the Latin word polly meaning more and ticks meaning
bloodsuckers.
