Organic farms are threatened by fast track federal bills.
Monsanto is behind legislation to ban organic farming. This company has worked for years to modify seeds in the name of saving the world from hunger. Actually research is showing that food produced from these seeds cause many illnesses. Multinational corporations, seem to believe that altering plant and animal life without regard to possible negative side effects, is a legitimate way to make lots of money.
Multi-National Corporations like Monsanto and Large Pharmaceutical Companies are fighting to convince the consuming public that they know what is best for the world. They sell their agenda by telling half truths and throwing large amounts of money into advertising their programs. FIGHT BACK NOW!
