Safeguard Organic Standards

OTA Has Spies           Apparently, the Organic Trade Associationi (OTA), which is the regulatory organization tasked with maintaining organic standards here in the U.S., has been infiltrated by the likes of GMO corporate interests and corporate lust for the almighty dollar.  How surprising!  (Sorry, but I'm SO biased.)
