FOOD FOR THOUGHT



Thanks to Ameena Meer for sending this to me. Once again organic food is about trust.

Speaking of trust it's even difficult for the textile industry to regulate. What some textile people have told me is that companies that are "Fair Trade" or "Organic" actually will collect industrial materials from other companies and sell it under their certification!!!!

So the question here is are regulators understaffed or is there actually a conspiracy going on? Either way I like what one person said which was to try to buy locally so that at least one can look the farmer straight in the eye!

This is really a shame.
