what aren't you sure of?


The Organic Consumers Association. When I've looked at their problem
with non-organic sausage casings, or non-organic hops in beer, my
impression was that they were being hysterical about small things. I
wrote to both businesses, who freely admitted to the charges.
Apparently, organic replacements weren't available, and they made no
effort to hid this fact.

My feeling was that they were simply grabbing stories from the news,
pasting them in their web site, and then asking for money to support
their work.

Simply put, I have little faith in the Organic Consumers Association.
