>Hi Ramona So, would you care to comment on this? 

I'm sure she will, but in short, this is why you never hear either of us talk about "organic" (except when specifically talking about certified organic honey...we don't buy, sell, or produce certified organic honey).

We specifically called our conference "treatment free" instead of "organic".

In our book we talk about "treatment free", and not organic.

The govt has the ability to control by statute what constitutes "certified organic".  History shows that standards get relaxed in order to let the big players into the market.  We chose not to play that game.
