so you make the people doing it right pay because someone is doing it wrong
. u want to go tax the folks that pass the organic test every year because
someone down the street might be lying. good idea
I understand now I got to pay because someone else lies. make the folks
that are organic pay because some one else is dishonest. and make them pay
every year enough already.
ok the USDA only had to give us a definition ok I will go along with that
. but why make a police action and a tax on every organic grower year after
year for the rest of their organic life . enough already
