I beg to differ~ I know people who have to eat Organic because of health reasons.. Crones, Diverticulitis, digestive problems, ect.. And even if people don't have health problems and can afford it is it hurting you? If it is a so call "scam" it's still a legal "niche market" and is it hurting you?

Is "Grass fed Beef" also a scam or wrong to market it as such? If a person raises and finishes out Angus beef and another raises Herefords or Holsteins are any of them "wrong" in promoting their product as "the best"?

Tell me, if you have 2 good friends and both have gardens and let you take what you want for free.. One sprays and uses tons of chemicals and the other is truly 100% Organic. Which garden would you be most likely to get produce from if it were for your children or grandchildren?

In our area Organic has saved many family farms from going under and they put a lot of work into it. I do not like their method of promoting it by demeaning conventional farming though~!!! It's a market that has been developed and is thriving and it's farmers. No one forces someone to buy it but as with any other company with a product they are going to try to maximize their profits and advertising is just part of it. We have enough hate from the public as farmers already but that's not enough it seems, Now days we all have to throw hate towards our fellow farmers.. Don't get me wrong, there are some wing nuts out there that are bad apples and cheat in the Organic sector but if they get caught it is known.
