    That´s what I hate about atheism. It never adresses serious topics like
    this……

    It hasn’t been “taken out of the English language.” It is just similar to
    a copyright, so that not everyone can just “claim” to be organic. Someone
    has to be responsible for what organic is, and in this case, it is the
    FDA. This isn’t about if I agree with he idea or not, but this is about
    frustration with people who don’t even have a clue about what’s going on.

    So the question is WHY do these two supermarket chains, with total control
    of Australia’s food, dish up poor quality organic produce? The only reason
    I can see is the obvious: It’s impossible for these huge multinational
    mega-farms to give the people pure Organic food, grown without the use of
    chemicals & petrochemical fertilisers. Because genuine organic produce is
    labour intensive, only small scale farmers can do it. So they give us crap
    organic food to make the organic movement look bad.

    Before WWII, in New York city people were allowed to just bring in their
    crops and sell them on the streets with no permits. My how times have
    changed. We’ve got to keep fighting this.

    @bandanamaniac Dude, you can’t even spell “ignorant.” I’m guessing you
    don’t read very frequently. Please do the world a favor, and keep your
    opinions to yourself.

    SWALLOW”……..but yet you drink it in your water….yum…yum!!! Simply
    because the Gov. sais it’s “OK”….Hmmmm…no wonder teachers have to cheat
    to pass students….

    @RP4409 @RP4409 Have you never been in the state of Texas? Are you serious
    thinking just because there is a rule people won’t break the rule. We
    wouldn’t need prisons or jails then would we. Plain and simple follow the
    rules if you want to use the term 100% organic and use that USDA green or
    brown label. There should be huge fines in place for people or stores that
    use the label or term. I sell to Wholefoods and my stuff complies to the
    NOP rules. What do you perceive the rules are for?

    Welcome to the system we’ve created!! If they allow the sale of
    non-inspected food and someone got sick and died there would be a potential
    lawsuit that would find them guilty without a doubt. So, since we have
    established ourselves as sue-happy because of our inabilities to protect
    ourselves at the most basic of levels, they enact laws to control our
    stupidity and protect ourselves from ourselves. It’s not “their” fault,
    it’s “our” fault. If you believe otherwise, then I’m sorry….

    @bandanamaniac I concern myself with the education level of the people with
    whom I am speaking with because ultimately it is a measure of both their
    credibility and worthiness of my time. You fail on both accounts. Let’s
    stop talking to each other and go on about our own lives, please.

    Simple solution….leave the fraudulent Federal Reserve economy. BARTER!
    Trade your crops for good and services.

    @ilovealexjones1 The US government telling people that certain foods are
    unhealthy, and you should not eat them is not socialism, that’s just good
    advice, you paranoid whacko.

    @ericzum i can find research for you right now about the dangers of
    flouride you have been lied too im sorry to say……..

    Here in Australia we have two Supermarket chains that control ALL of the
    food. Because of demand both of these chains have now offer a very small
    line of organic produce. But it’s absolute CRAP, it’s twice the price and
    worst of all the quality is a disgrace, and makes the organic food business
    look very bad. It’s garbage & most of it can’t be eaten. I’ve been an small
    organic farmer for most of my working life (25 years) so I KNOW there’s no
    excuse for such poor quality organic produce.

  17. RP4409 said:

    You don’t get it because you have not read the USDA’s policies on what
    determines whether something is actually organic. The point is when someone
    sees “organic” they “trust” its 100% organic but that’s not true in most
    cases. The USDA has deliberately allowed 4 classifications of “organic” in
    order to murky the water and confuse people. Its called sleight of hand.
    Most crap labeled organic from corporate farms is NOT organic at all and if
    you believe it is then you’re quite naive. ~4409

    @ericzum so why dosent the FDA shield us from fluoridated water if you are
    so concerned…

  19. maccarrooon said:

    @wesmatron You honestly suggest that we invite more regulation and
    bureaucracy to a basic commodity that anyone can grow and harvest
    themselves – food??? As far as organic, do you really believe that
    home-growers can afford the use of Monsanto and DuPont petrochemicals for
    agriculture?!?!? Wake u

    I hate to play the devil’s advocate here, but there is some sense in some
    of the market guidelines they put in that paper. The thing is, if you call
    yourself “organic” without being certified by the USDA you could get into
    some serious trouble, for good reason, people will easily lie to you about
    their growing practices, or feign ignorance, just to sell you a tomato.
    Couple in Amarillo, TX got jail time for flat out fraud, not ignorance, for
    pulling that stunt.

    GOD’S gift to us is being able to poke a friggin’ seed in the ground and
    get sustanance…..WAKE UP PEOPLE…..SAY NO TO MONSANTO! DOn’t bend over
    and take it in the ass while being force-fed cancer, the food we eat isn’t
    even food, if it’s in a package, it’s SHIT!

  22. RP4409 said:

    @wesmatron …Agree its so crazy anymore….I learn something new everyday
    as well

  23. codethatworks1 said:

    @RP4409 Please explain how if following the NOP Standards the food is now
    not organic. I never stated ANTHING about the FDA. Where do you see FDA
    ANYWHERE in my comments. Only fools think the FDA can logistically inspect
    every item on this earth. Quit putting external crap to my comments.
    Justify your claim with proof. Explain your comment how the rules make it
    where the food labeled organic is not actually organic now. Prove fraud.

  24. ericzum said:

    @RP4409 Yes, and they are also the same regulators that kept thalidomide
    from being sold in the US. Ever been to Europe? Ever notice the people who
    have hands, but no arms? They have little flipper things sticking out of
    their shoulders… Want to know why you never see them in the United
    States? FDA.

  25. ilovealexjones1 said:

    @ericzum you see if the govt really did want to keep us safe and so on you
    think they would do things differently, instead things like arsenic in
    chicken flouride in water, BPA hormone bending chemical in plastics, and
    this list can continue corporations patenting DNA type treatments…so
    where are these FDA tokeep us safe….o wait thats not their job the only
    people who can keep us safe is our selves….
