Over here, supermarkets have bio products on stock, they aren't that much more expensive then the normal brands.
Ok , i'll admit, it's not going to be the same as buying everything in a true bio store, but frankly , many of those bio stores are run by people who would have
been running a small fashion boutique if you turn the clock back 20 years... There's plenty of hype there as well..

What guarantees do you even have that the products in the bio store, are bio?
Is there any labeling that's certified by any kind of governmental organization for such bio products??
Is there anything that prevents a bio store, from putting Gen-Mod procuts or hormone meat in their shops??


What you guys need to do, is write to your politicians... and demand that food is labeled properly ..
if there's Genetic modification , it should be on the label. Hormone meat.. labeled.
That's the basis... the ability to choose for non modified food.
The law should be such, that failure to document the actual content of food, should be fined with possibility for jailtime if there are repeat offenders.

For true bio food, it needs to be even more then non modified... it would also have to be food that ain't grown with pesticides and what not..

But it won't happen, because the likes of Monsanto, are inside your government.
And the folks that are worried about that... are far and few in between.
I've heard al sorts of Big Brother fears in all sorts of threads on PPOT..
fear of gun regulation, immigrants,black helicopters, zombies , Canadians and Terrorism.

Y'all should be afraid of how a Bio tech Company controls your US FDA, your Government.
How they got your government to sign a law, that permits em to tinker with basic food components, without even require testing whenever they bring out a new genetic modification...

in the EU, there's
A mandatory labeling if there is even just .5% genetically modified content
B ban on hormones in meat
C pesticides are banned from use in greenhouse fruit growing

There are more things like it.. but those 3 give you a good idea what the difference is... those 3 things, are probably impossible to even think off right now in the US...
