    Excellent info, thanks very much newensign

    Of course the situation in the US is very different. But can we really believe that this poison isn’t in use here? Their labelling laws are far more explicit than ours aren’t they. So how would we ever know here?

    Home grown organic is always best of course, even if that limits choice. Garden fresh tastes SO much better too, you can literally taste the difference

    But even that is subject to the daily spraying of our skies isn’t it. We are under full spectrum attack

      Yes Pete, it is in the USA, but that’s the testing ground before it comes here. I have noticed that quite often fruit bought at a supermarket often takes a long time to ripen, and is hard on the outside, but starting to go rotten on the inside. I know its difficult but we have to try to, to stay one step ahead of them!

    I have very rarely found an edible mango outside Africa. They don’t travel and it’s generally better to buy fruit and vegetables that are local to the terrain where you live.

    Organic foods are strictly controlled where I live and a farmer has to prove that he has not been using pesticides for a certain number of years. Sometimes in my local organic supermarket I find something ‘under conversion’ which means it has still a year or so to go.

    • newensign says:

      Yes I agree Belyi. You are lucky to live in Switzerland, where a lot of the banking elite live, as they won’t want their food poisoned! Here in the UK we have the Soil Association, but I believe they have been infiltrated, because once growers are registered, they don’t bother to enforce it!

    “it’s generally better to buy fruit and vegetables that are local to the terrain where you live.” Totally Belyi, spot on

    I partly owned, and daily managed, a pioneering organic food processor/producer business in the ’80s and ’90s. We had very very high ethical standards, and the very last thing that we would have done was sell non organic as organic. Growers were audited too, and there was an ethical approach all round here in uk. In the independent trade at least, it was a small world. We would visit some of our foreign suppliers and audit them too…..

    That was last century. The independent trade was gradually absorbed by the big boys over a decade or more, and things changed. Our success led to offers to sell our business and we accepted one of them eventually. This sale was particularly influenced by a couple of events involving very large multi-national food businesses

    One of them, that we competed with directly in the market, visited our offices and told us straight to our faces “Pull that product out of the market or we will destroy you”. Unnerved, we complied, it wasn’t a big part of our revenue

    The other was a major customer who we were manufacturing for under contract. We had created a great product and persuaded them to launch it in their UK market. A year or so later, when our factory was flat out making their product, they turned up and said “We’ve moved our business to xxxx”. Just like that, a massive chunk of our revenues gone in a puff of smoke. Supply contract not withstanding….

    We were clearly out of our league, so when a decent offer arrived then, we sold up and moved on. Most of the good independents went the same way

    I could make your hair curl with stories about the behaviour of such food concerns, UK plc’s and multi-nationals alike. Suffice to say that, ethical standards like ours were an alien concept to them. So I’ve got no illusions about the reality, whatever their PR brochures say

      I am not surprised Pete, as the country is run by the Kaszarian mafia, it must been a worrying time for you and having built up a good wholesome business. We have to try and get back to local family traders and get rid of big corporations and supermarkets and deal direct with local businesses and farmers!

      • pete fairhurst 2 says:

        Stressful is the word I would use newensign. We stuck to our principles and that was always our comfort

        I agree, local independents wherever possible

    I once suggested to a farmer who had mentioned that they’d been spraying the barley with Roundup, that it has been claimed that ity causes cancer. Oh no it’s ok he reassured me, we don’t use much.
    agricultural science at it’s best??
