Organic: Friend or Faux?
The Bush administration is giving Americans new reason to watch what they eat — and it’s got nothing to do with carbs. Over the course of 10 days in mid-April, the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued three “guidances” and one directive — all legally binding interpretations of law — that threaten to seriously dilute the meaning of the word “organic” and discredit the department’s National Organic Program.
