Again the Bush admin. sliming behind close doors, whoring for corporations

[Zinfandel]

and industries...and the lying greedy profiteers who are Bush campaign donors in the huge corporate Diary, Cattle and Agriculture industries.

These slimly Bush bastards knew they had to go behind close doors and not let the public know what lies and distortion they were up to. In order to pour more money into the corporte diaries, cattle and corporate agriculture, (who want it all) now that organic farmers have slowly and are now taking a slice of their shitty corporate products!

These "capitalist" corporations want it all tipped in their favor by illegal backdoor legislation by the corrupt Bush administration.

ORGANIC FOOD FIGHT / Outcry over rule changes that allow more pesticides, hormones

(snip)

"Sounding a national alarm, the coalition is pressuring the U.S. Department of Agriculture to retract the changes and keep the public involved.

In both the House and Senate, letters calling on Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman to withdraw the documents are gathering bipartisan support. And businesses that will lose money because of the changes are said to be considering lawsuits."

A showdown is taking shape over the nation's organic food standards, triggered by a spate of recent rule changes that some producers and activists say are setting a pattern that could eventually render the organic label meaningless.

The changes in the National Organic Program standards, made in April, expand the use of antibiotics and hormones in organic dairy cows, allow more pesticides in the organic arsenal and for the first time let organic livestock eat potentially contaminated fishmeal.

Program administrators also reversed themselves and said seafood, pet food and body care products can use "organic" on their labels without meeting any standards at all.
