Lazy journalism at work; using a press release as a "story".

However, I like organic foods. I realize not everyone can afford them, but has anyone ever checked the difference in expiration dates between organic and regular milk. Around me at least, the regular milk will not be allowed to be sold between 7-10 days from the day when I'm in the supermarket. Organic milk will not be allowed to be sold between 30-40 days from the day I'm in the supermarket.

Also, it is my opinion that the use of very cheap man-made food ingredients with the largest being hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup as being one of the biggest causes of obesity and poor health in this country.

Why? Because they cost more? Because the Organic Farmers TELL you it's better for you?

The only way consumers will be able to be sure that the foods they purchase have been made without genetically modified ingredients or cloned animals is by buying organic.

OK, organic farmers can feed what--5% of the population? What are the other 95% supposed to do--eat cake? Should we start ripping up asphalt and convert back to an agrarian society?
