Hi all, While surfing I saw the stuff regarding new proposals to lower organic foods standards in the US. Of particular interest to me is the information at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/1527/letters.html which specifically makes suggestions on what to do. If anyone can suggest to me other sites that have specific information that makes it easy to contact the US gov't officials who will be involved, or about letter-writing, please let me know. I intend to upload the URLs of all useful/helpful sites regarding this issue to my website as soon as I have enough information. Ideally I'd like my clients to be able to quickly download a sample letter complete with mailing address and protest letter to sign and send. I am appalled at the proposal - - "The USDA's Proposed Rule violates the Act by proposing new definitions, criteria and exceptions that would allow wide use of synthetic substances in organic foods" from http://www.living-foods.com/organicstandards.html Thanks in advance to all who reply, regards roberta
