Obama’s USDA Betrays Organic – Again!

Despite receiving hundreds of thousands of letters in opposition, President Obama’s USDA approved Monsanto’s new “Roundup Ready” alfalfa. GM alfalfa will massively increase the use of Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide and is certain to contaminate organic dairy, alfalfa sprouts and honey.

 

Then, within a week, USDA Secretary (and former Biotech Governor of the Year) Tom Vilsack dropped another Frankenbomb on organic, announcing that GM sugar beets would be planted this Spring in defiance of a federal court ban issued to protect organic sugar beet seeds and related crops, such as kale and table beets, from contamination.

 

This is outrageous! We’ve got to stop the sabotaging of organic!
