Big Ag corporations trying to blur the lines between organic and GMOs
‘Once upon a time in America, about 10 to 15 years ago, there existed a gray area, better known as “conventional” between genetically modified, toxic food and the other end of the spectrum — which is organic and truly natural. Yes, there are still some “conventional” farmers out there, but there’s no way for the general consumer to know whether or not that conventional crop is loaded with toxins, since GMOs have no warning labels whatsoever in the USA.
However, more than likely, the “gray area” of safe conventional farming will disappear over the next two years. As corporations are quickly buying up mid-sized farmer’s seeds, land, equipment, water supplies and so forth, what’s left are small farms that are family-owned and protected by people who still have ethics and values, and know the meaning and power of food that is grown without pesticides, insecticides and herbicides. These foods come from nature and are not concocted in labs to contain bug and weed killer. These foods are not COVERED UP with poison in the crop fields of America. These foods are not “conventional.”‘
