Sinopse

Mark Kastel is the Executive Director of Cornucopia Institute, the watch dog of "big organics." Organic food is the fastest growing segment of the food industry - but the biggest players are not the sustainable kind that raise food without a lot of off farm inputs. Big conventional food companies have acquired more than 60 formerly independent organic companies and dominate the operations of OTA, the trade association of organic companies. Mark talks about the acquisitions by corporations like Kraft and General Mills, the companies that are still independently owned, and what makes 9000 cow organic dairy farms an oxymoron.
