Yes, this is a duplicate of an earlier message, but this time, I added the
time the meeting will occur....BL

>>Care about organic?
>>
>> The Moscow Food Co-op is sponsoring a public meeting about the new set of
>>standards now being created for the organic foods industry by the US
>>Department of Agriculture. Instead of welcoming the standards, many in the
>>organic foods business today are looking at the loopholes instead and
>>worrying that the door is open for the use of genetically modified
>>organisms, human sewage, industrial sludge, and a high percentage of
>>non-organic feed for livestock, and other common practices of today's food
>>industry.
>> The public meeting will be held from 7pm to 8pm on Tuesday, March 3,
upstairs
at the Co-op, 310 West Third in Moscow. Nancy Taylor, Potlatch resident and
>>member of the National Organic Standards Board of the US Department of
>>Agriculture, will be there to lead discussion.
>> Questions??? call the Co-op at 882-8537
