The Organic Foods Movement - Led by Heinz Corporation or We
the People?
The Time to Choose is Now

produce and potentially contaminated fishmeal as feed for
livestock. As happened with a number of other outrageous
recent USDA actions, citizens groups and the organic food
industry rallied in opposition, and were successful in
reversing the proposed changes.
