And it’s being added to more than three-quarters of the foods sold in the United States.A farmer can spray chemicals to kill bugs, then spray more chemicals to kill weeds, and then add chemicals to the soil… and we don’t require any labels. But if a farmer wants to use an organic sticker, they have to pay a bunch of money, and fill out loads of paperwork, to prove they didn’t use chemicals.All of life is on the line. Our planet’s climate is in serious trouble, and industrialized agriculture is a driving force.A third of the commercial honeybee colonies in the United States died last winter.
