What's this and is it truly happening?

Hmm. Let's not get alarmed yet. Here is more information. Be sure to check out the two gov.track links (the 2nd & 3rd links w/in the article).

and here is a considered overview by Organic Consumers Association: www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_17355.cfm.

thanks, bix! something to watch, then, but no need to turn guerrillera yet! phew!

I hope the organic concerns don't shoot themselves in the foot by acting like pro-active victims. The bill could be beneficial to the public if it's properly worded, not least in preventing polluting, non-organic businesses from marketing themselves as "green".

I agree, but don't have much hope. Your last link was really useful, so thanks again.
