     Friends,
     
     I'm sorry that this sounds like an info commercial but I don't know of 
     any other way of presenting it.
     This is an urgent message for all of you out there that are concerned 
     with your health and the health of the planet!  The USDA is looking 
     for feedback in pinning down the definition of "organic."  They are 
     considering including such things as "genetically-engineered" and 
     irradiated foods under the classification "organic"!
        If you are like me and afraid to eat almost anything at the grocery 
     store, afraid of what's in your drinking water, afraid that the next 
     time you eat beef (or anything that may have come into contact with 
     it) you'll get E coli.  Worried what's in the soil in your own 
     backyard?  The foods that you are trying to raise organically? Can you 
     really sit back and let this one slide?  This may be our last chance 
     at being able to be fairly sure of what we are putting into our 
     bodies.  After all we are what we eat, right?
        Why all the fuss?  We have a short time, less than 90 days to give 
     the USDA our opinion.  To stop the chemical companies from ruling our 
     lives, from the unbridled rape and pillage of America.  Go out to the 
     web site and tell them that organic should be natural free from 
     chemical pollution.   In the immortal words of former Vice President 
     Dan Quayl(e) "We don't have a problem with pollution, it's all that 
     stuff in the air and water that is the problem."
     
     Organic should be natural - free from chemical pollution, residual 
     radiation and genetic tampering.

     Thank you very much!
