Many of the organic brands we know and love are owned by corporate America’s big boys, according to Corpwatch (via Go Organic!). Nick at GO refuses to pass judgment, and I suppose he’s right… While I certainly like the idea of smaller, more independent companies leading the charge here, corporate money could potentially take organics to a whole new level. Of course, on the other hand, there are rumblings of loosening the requirements for Organic certification by the Department of Agriculture — is this the work of the multinationals?
