Take Action: Uphold Organic Integrity, Food Grown in Sewage Sludge, Gun Regulations Now!
Organic Integrity is at Stake
The USDA’s National Organic Program (NOP) is proposing to delay
compliance with National Organic Standard Board (NOSB) recommendations
that disallow non-essential synthetic vitamins, minerals, and nutrients
in organic. An interim rule advanced by NOP will permit the continued
illegal use of these synthetic nutrients in organic foods, which was
allowed by a previous administration without the legally required NOSB
ruling. Let the USDA know that you do not want synthetic ingredients in
you and your family’s organic food by clicking here and adding a comment.
Tell Whole Foods to Label Food Grown in Sewage Sludge
An educated shopper in North Carolina has uncovered Whole Foods Market’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on “conventional” produce that may or may not be grown in sewage sludge. People have a right to know if the food they are buying is grown in human excrement and industrial waste. Sludge has been shown to contain toxic substances and other contaminants such as flame retardants (a carcinogen), pharmaceutical residues, endocrine disruptors, phthalates, industrial solvents, metals, and much more. Let’s demand that Whole Foods institute a company-wide transparency policy about fruits and vegetables grown in sewage sludge.SOURCE: http://www.ieatgreen.com/take-action-uphold-organic-integrity-food-grown-in-sewage-sludge-gun-regulations-now/?utm_source=iEat+Green+Newsletter&utm_campaign=2fba513ab2-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email
