Bad Argument Against Organic Produce Is Taking Shape In The UK

After a recent bout of anti-organic propaganda in the UK's mainstream media - which was led by elements from within the UK's government and associated agencies - a picture is emerging of the exact nature of this particular beast. What seems to be going on here is an attempt by multi-national chemical companies to get looser laws governing the use of their pesticides within the UK, and when considering who is saying what, this is more than likely supported by the big food industry giants too. A worrying sign is the lack of government or opposition support for the organic/anti-pesticide side, from whom we only hear the usual voices, and their opinions are not being published quite as often as those who would prefer us to totally forget about organic produce.
