Use of Synthetic Preservatives, Genetically Mutated Ingredients
and Weak Animal Welfare Standards Headed for Vote by USDA Panel

Cornucopia, WI—The Cornucopia Institute, one of the nation's leading organic industry watchdogs, is urging members of the USDA's National Organic Standards Board (NOSB), in formal testimony, to vote to preserve the integrity of organic food and farming at its upcoming meeting in Savannah, Georgia.

Some of the hot button issues on the agenda, including using artificial preservatives and genetically modified ingredients, would seem Orwellian to many longtime organic farmers and consumers. The forecasted dustup will be debated by a USDA panel, deeply divided between corporate agribusiness representatives and organic advocates.

  • FUCK GMO

  • honestly, I believe the junk added to foods is Exactly why I am now invaded with so many cancers. As a youth, we had gardens, and livestock for our foods, as both parents worked, we gardened less and less. I know EXACTLY what it is to grow foods organically, and I am not sure about commercially organic grown either! I would rather see it grown, as well as the process used for selling.

  • fkn bastards. unbelievable

  • @Gnostic279 So true. . . i read natural Aids cure=immune system and no gluten diet too.But you know the problem is that they are so pushy with those vaccines.

  • Good day my friends. We would like to invite you all to "like" & "share" our FB page WeTheSheeple1. There are so many unaware of all the harmful toxins in processed fake food. All the suffering and disease is so unnecessary. Help turn Sheeple back into Human Beings.

    Health, Happiness & Much Love

  • @Gnostic279 well, I will go for that, I know I recall the sugar cube vaccine for polio, I believe it was, and do have the scar on my arm for whatever that was, so it very well may be the reason...thanks for making the point, oh, and I am 54, and was never ill as a kid, other than a cold or sore throat, so being ill is very new for me! thanks again!

  • Southernpatriot Sounds like you are having trouble with vaccines more than food additives. Everyone I know who was raised on farm eggs and/or crops/gardens has a real tolerance for all the shit food we eat today. I am talking about people 50 to 60 years old who are healthier than me at 34. The difference is they didn't get all the vaccines that I got. Can you imagine how the next generation will be with their vaccines doubling what I got? Just a thought. BTW natural cancer cure=immune system

  • important topic my local Co-Op market joined the Non GMO Project for all produce

  • @organicsuperman The USDA gave Whole Foods two options or else they would not be able to be in the negotiations any more. The options are:

    1) To allow Monsanto to have full control to do as they want to, completely unregulated.

    2) To allow Monsanto to do what they want with GM food, but implement some regulation and attempt to control genetically modified organisms (GMO) so that it can co-exist with non-GMO foods.

  • @organicsuperman There has been a lot of confusion about what is going on with Monsanto corporation and Whole Foods Market. There are plenty of Whole Foods “haters” out there that are claiming that the company has been bought out by Monsanto (not true, the companies are publicly traded so you can see for yourself) and that Whole Foods Market has agreed to use Monsanto’s genetically modified foods.

  • @organicsuperman Whole Foods' recent admission proves how successful the biotech companies have been in their efforts to replace foods unadulterated by hormones with Frankenfoods. The fact that one of the best-known purveyors of natural foods has decided to throw in the towel rather than holding the line against biotech foods means consumers will have fewer places to go in their quest to buy non-genetically engineered foods.

  • @organicsuperman Whole Foods does take steps to avoid GMO ingredients, but due to the massive use of genetically engineered ingredients in the food supply, it is currently impossible to avoid GMOs in conventional or "natural" products. As a result, many food products sold at Whole Foods do, in fact, contain genetically engineered ingredients, even when Whole Foods would prefer they didn't.

  • ok

  • Give me clean water and real food, keep the doctors and pills.

  • @locker77616 You'd think. How anyone is against this is beyond me.

  • I will be damned! Thanks for letting us know!

  • 3 dislikes must be the evil scientists that promotes GMO .

  • Very informing!! I like how we're seeing lots of other good reporters getting to have air time and broadcast on the channel, just as Alex promised with his money bomb. Keep up the good work!

  • Screen you guests better... I just looked at my childs Gerber brand formula and there is not any Hexane or any Hex in it... This show is 95% accurate, but it doesn't take much to lose the trust of a new listener.

  • Oh man. I'm at my 11th month of eating as much organic food as I can. I cannot allow myself to eat anything that is synthetic and must avoid any malicious food additive or chemical at all costs. Hearing this makes me want to rip an elitist's head mainly responsible for this straight off! Hell, now I can't even trust Horizion anymore with their milk since I found out they were owned by Deans Foods!? Yikes! What can I do now..starve myself? At least I've got a pendant to energize food and drinks.

  • Breast feeding is sick !!
