Hi Lynne. Documentation such as in Horowitz's "Emerging Viruses" shows
that big business is the gov't. That includes the USDA. We don't need
such foxes guarding our henhouse. If you'll get the toxins out of sewage
sludge, we'll get it certified and use it on our farms pronto. Big biz
puts the toxins in it. Are there any city or county gov'ts that forbid
it? The sec'y of Ag is undoubtedly a member of big biz, not an organic
farmer, or any other kind of farmer, unless you call agribiz farming.
Aloha. Lloyd
