>> Hello friends,
>> I've cut and pasted the following info. from a lot of letters that have
>> come
>> in to my mailbox today regarding last night's 20/20 show featuring the
>> extremely talented spin artists & hype masters Dennis Avery and John
>> Stossel, so that the truth can be spread and the lies can be challenged -
>> please pass on...
>> --------------------
>> >From Holly -
>> Go to the Organic Trade Association's website for their response
>> to 20/20 at: http://www.ota.com/
>>
>> Check out the News section - there's an article there listing Avery's
>> lies, when and where they were printed. For instance, he has claimed
>> the CDC had done comparative studies between organic and "regular"
>> produce that showed high contamination levels for the organic stuff.
>> The CDC had to issue a statement saying that no such studies had ever
>> been done after Avery's lies were published in the Wall Street Journal.
>> (Not a rag highly noted for its agricultural slant)
>> -------------------
>> >From Del -
>> Go to http://www.abcnews.com and read the report on organic foods (Dennis
>> Avery is
>> getting the press again) and then go to the Stossel's message board and
>> put
>> in your $10 worth. This is just incredible.
