In a week the USDA along with Scientists will be making the decision to add "new ingredients" to organic foods. These ingredients are synthetics, chemicals, & compounds.
Mark Kastel co-founder of Cornucopia Institute states "We think this meeting will determine the faith of organic foods and agriculture in this country." Let it be known that, "we" own the labels in the organic institute and that the USDA works for "the people." Organics means something it is not just a word. Anything that is "not" of nature is "not" organic and cannot or should not be placed into "organic" foods i.e. additives, preservatives, or whatever concoction these big corporations and their scientists have genetically and chemically created in their labs.. So, what does this mean for vegans, vegetarians, & those who choose just to eat organic foods?
The smaller food companies are being bought out by larger corporations. Hershey's, Heinz, Pepsi Co.,and other well known companies are owning small brands that was thought to be "mom and pop" brands. Where does this leave small businesses? The way things are going now it is not looking good. That is why it must be stopped by speaking up, creating/signing petitions across this nation, putting the pressure on Congress and the USDA is the key to this. Remember, Congress gave the USDA the responsibility to protect ethical farmers and we as consumers have that right to protect ourselves by making sure that these guidelines are implemented.
These additives(not all, but, not limited ) that are synthetic were developed through Monsanto and are created through genetic manipulation. A major chemical player known as Hexane is a chemical that is used in baby foods and in infant formulas. These chemicals can give neurological problems to the brain and other unnecessary health issues to the human body. This is also why breast feeding is a better alternative. If the woman medically can, it is excellent for both the infant and the mother.
I don't want to give away too much of the great information in this short video by "The Health Ranger," Mike Adams and Mark Kastel. I encourage you listen, take heed, take action, and follow through on this one because it can change the way we eat and live in this world. Do not allow Big Government, Big Corporations, and their scientists to continue manipulating our foods, minds, and lives. It is unethical and immoral. It is "not" what nature and the Creator intended...
