    And now..a word from our sponsor...Monsanto

    Don't forget that the article was written by Ronnie Cummins, the national director of the Organic Consumers Association. That is a multi-billion dollar industry that is just as greedy as any other. BUT I still feel more comfortable raising my own food, takes any questions I may have out of the loop.

    And now..a word from our sponsor...Monsanto

    This is why I'm so adamant about growing my own food! Meat and veggies... My friends think I'm crazy too. I think they trust too much in the FDA... Can't they remember all the screw ups the FDA have had? DDT? Lots of drug recalls with tragic results... No thanks, I'd rather do it myself.
