FDA does seem corrupt, however note that its USDA that controls the organics food labeling, and though there is a long way to go, standards have come a long way since the 1970s when there was none. This year will see a revised version of the Federal Trade Commission Green Guides (they haven't been done in 10 years) and hopefully once the public comment period is over and the new rules finalized, we'll see a lot better labeling. Truth in advertising is a huge piece of the puzzle and there is a lot of confusion in the marketplace because FTC's green labeling standards are woefully out of date. However, since the change in administration, there are now several green labeling lawsuits whereas during the Bush administration there were none. Don't lose heart, despite Monsanto's evil ways, there is progress on some fronts! Soon the terms natural, organic, and green will be defined and manufacturers will have to think seriously about their labeling practices or they will end up in court.
