O Dear...There's a fair bit of everything in anything

[parsley]

Raving anti-organic farmers might better ignore
the rich-niche-market, quit whining like an old
woman in full blown menopause, and stamp your
GMO bags with your phone number so you'll be
acknowledged with consumer feeback praise and
thanks. Twill improve your day. Pars

bobofthenorth, Given a choice, people will buy
non-GMO over GMO, has been my experience.

But what do I know about food? So take your
science supporting pamphlets, stamp your
product GMO, and market full steam, if you are
confident in your product.

Go ahead. Stamp the product. You shouldn't
have one reservation. Not one. Pars

AllisWD45, you're right on the money.
To each their own. We all are serving a
need to some extent.

Lol,"full blowen menopause"seen that once dont want
to see it again.

Oneoff,didnt you see you walked into an un
defendable argument?

15-20% growth cant remember how many billions but
thats a doubling time of 4-3 years.

Even if the consumer is wrong the producer isnt by
giving them what they want,and if you think that their
perception will change,good luck with that.

Hopefully the foreign import organics burns at the
stake.

Actually Parsley I agree wholeheartedly with you. Labelling is key. So I assume you will be willing to disclose the number of e-coli related deaths from organic produce on everything you wish to claim organic status for?

Nobody - not one single person - has ever died from GMO but the organic industry most certainly can not make that claim.

The biggest scam in "organic" food is when I see something labeled "organic" that comes from China......

[ado089]

Cotton, growth rate/70 is your doubling
time. Adoption rates always follow an S
curve, where are we on themselves right
now?

[parsley]

Bobofthenorth, organics label their products
"certified organic". The name of the certification
body is listed. A product number is assigned and
listed. An audit trail is in place for recall or fraud.
All paid for by the organic chain. The media
report problems. Full disclosure. Subject to
federal testing via federal legislation. Tried our
best on our own dollar.

[bobofthenorth]

The recent news reports about organic labelling fraud combined with better efforts on the part of conventional agriculture to expose the fraudulent nature of the whole organic sector have combined to reveal that an "organic" label means about the same as a "new and improved" label on a jug of Tide.

The organic honeymoon with an uninformed consumer is coming to a long overdue end.

I know how to calculate growth rate and ive only
talked about it on here a million times,i ballparked
the numbers and they are close enough.

So if organics is a 10 billion dollar industry now its 20
in 4 years and 40 in 8 and 80 in 12.

The magic of the exponential function.
