I got a kick out of this video from Organic Valley. I also was surprised by the very negative "You Tube" comments about it. What do you think?

Wow. I didn't just cry when I watched this, I had to fight back a few sobs. I loved it. Powerful.

I loved the video. I'm not surprised by the negative comments though. Some of them probably were, as one commenter put it, "Monsanto trolls". In some of the comments towards the beginning, someone actually linked to a couple commenter's LinkedIn profiles. One was from Monsanto, and one was from Environmental Working Group (research on toxic chemicals involved with agriculture). Anyway I thought it was very clever. Thanks for sharing :)

Glad you enjoyed the video MaryJane! I thought it was done beautifully and with a very real & powerful message.

Erin, my husband had the same theory about the negative commentators. He calls them "Merchants of Doubt". They are paid to distort facts by the companies who are poisoning our planet for profit. I'm glad people are wising up to them and realize who they are and who they actually represent.

I loved it. Kids are our future and they need to learn to research and think for themselves rather than believing everything they're told. I hope this helps spread the message.
Thanks for sharing.

Your both welcome Winnie and Heather. I agree that our children need to know what exactly is being done to their food and the planet. I am optimistic, probably unrealistically, that maybe we can stop the problem before it becomes theirs to deal with.
