Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Mark Nagel <activism98201@verizon.net>]

"Anybody who's helping to take toxins out of the biosphere and use less
poisonous chemicals in agriculture is a hero of mine,"

So, by importing MORE we're reducing pollutants?  I guess all that CO2 from 
transporting these goods thousands of miles doesn't count!

Amazing how good all these professional obfuscators are at hiding the 
externalizations.

Lastly, why do we have to jump through all these organic certification hoops? 
 It's really only a scam to kill small farmers: it's a way that the big boys 
can keep ratcheting up the requirements so that they can kill off all the 
small competition; then once they're gone the big boys then whine about all 
the regulations!

As individuals we've got to cheer less and DO more...  It's time to run from 
"organic" toward the "local."
