The Demise of Organic Foods With HR 875?


A bill has been introduced into Congress (HR 875), which will more stringently regulate farming practices. That's all well and good, except the fact that HR 875 could essentially put the small farmer out of business and more specifically, organic farming!

Congressional Bill HR 875 was introduced by Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, whose husband Stanley Greenburg works for Monsanto. Ummmm, Monsanto, need I say more?

Dr Merola's website poses some interesting questions and facts regarding this Bill. Read through his comments and watch the video below which talks about it.

This is truly one very scary world we are living in when the govenment decides how the very food we eat to sustain ourselves will be grown and cultivated. America, the Land of the Free?

Liz I love your blog, you bring to light the most relevant topics. I had not heard of this, googled Monsanto and H.R. 875 after visiting your site. What Monsanto has done and is doing is scary stuff, really scary...

Thanks for sharing this info. I've already sent out emails to our elected officials regarding this bill. We need more people to get informed and get involved!
