Miracle-Gro Sues Small N.J. Organic Plant-Food Maker

I can understand your anger over the suit. The color scheme argument seems weak to me. It reminds me of Warner Bros. suing the Marx Brothers for the use of the word "Casablanca" in a movie title after "Casablanca" itself had been released. Groucho wrote back that they were considering suing Warner Brother over the use of the word "Brothers", because the Marx brothers had been brothers since before the formation of cinema giant Warner Bros. Warner Bros. dropped their suit.Depending on the details, it is entirely possible for "synthetic" and "organic" products to be identical. It is also entirely possible for "organic" methods to produce a lot more pollution than non-organic methods. So, while I understand and applaud the idea of minimizing use of insecticides, for example, I'm afraid that the "organic" label itself can be very misleading. For example:Where does the fertilizer come from? All fertilizer contains "chemicals". The runoff from farms using fertilizer is damaging to streams and lakes, regardless of whether the fertilizer is organic or not.The organic farmers use BT as an insecticide in large amounts (because it is natural), and this contains the exact same protein found in some "bio-engineered" crops.The issue with Monsanto & milk is different in my view. I do not see anything inaccurate about the corporate claims. Bovine growth hormone is present in all cows and milk, and the hormone levels were no different in milk whether farms used Monsanto's hormone or not. I am a former Monsanto employee (full disclosure).While there may or may not be issues about the health of the cow (are they stressed more, etc.), there seem to me to be no issues about the healthiness of the milk (I say that from a professional scientific perspective).My wife still buys organic milk, however.

What's new, corporations are just a license for little evil people to do illegally what they don't have the guts to do on their own. This whole country sucks because right is not right; right is might and the media is really the government. Hey everyone on TV is a paid liar folks.

Excellent overview, it pointed me out something I didn’t realize before. I should encourage for your wonderful work. I am hoping the same best work from you in the future as well. Thank you for sharing this information with us.
