USDA and industry try to sneak banned conventional ingredients into organic beer, sausage, and processed foods. USDA allows 38 toxic ingredients to be labeled "organic".

The USDA's controversial proposal will result in some of the following:

• Sausages, brats, and breakfast links labeled as "USDA Organic" will be allowed to contain intestines from factory farmed animals raised on chemically grown feed, synthetic hormones, slaughterhouse waste, and antibiotics.

• Anheuser Busch will be allowed to sell its "Organic Wild Hops Beer" without using any organic hops at all. They would be allowed to use hops grown with insecticides and pesticides. Yet another reason to just avoid beer all together, except for maybe the occasional Newcastle Brown Ale to celebrate a friend getting off prescription drugs (i.e. getting off Lipitor and blood pressure meds).

Let's face it. People have to stop being blind consumers led by tricky government labels. Engage your brain and make healthy decisions fueled by common sense. Organic does not equate to being healthy. Seriously, stores are selling "organic sugar" and "organic soda." And obese people waddle in by the millions to consume the fat fertilizer under the hypnotic trance of "organic" advertising.
