Organic Eye ~> USDA Challenged on Illegal GMO Use in Organics

Industry Watchdog Calls for Public Meetings on the Use of Genetically Engineered Vaccines

THE STORY: A QUICK OVERVIEW

One of the most prominent differentials between conventional and organic food is the latter’s strict prohibition on genetically modified farm inputs and ingredients.

At the encouragement of the livestock industry, the USDA and certain certifiers have allowed the use of genetically engineered vaccines in organic production — sanctioning a don’t ask/don’t tell protocol.

A briefing paper just released by OrganicEye provides organic industry stakeholders an overview of current vaccination practices, exploring essentiality and options for the organic industry coming into legal compliance.

OrganicEye has sent a letter to the USDA, as a preliminary alternative to litigation, requesting the National Organic Standards Board convene a public forum to fully explore the issue.

A child of the peace and antiWar movements, a Truther with self-diagnosed Opposition Defiance Disorder, formerly politically liberal tho now politically marooned, and Post-Doomer, on any issue, I trend to the conspiracy side, sort through the absurd, fantastical and insane, until I find firm ground usually located just the other side of the censorship firewall of propaganda and orthodoxy, dogma, and other either / or thinking.
