Syracuse Peace Council--Corporate Organic Takeover
november 2011 by chronosome

"Organic food is just plain food. It is what our bodies are made to receive, and what human beings need to survive within the ecology of our planet. It is corporate marketing that creates organic products as “boutique” food for the privileged. In fact, clean food is as much our right as clean air and water."
