thanks for your informative posting - i think you are mauy be less of a
non conformist than you think.....the sad thing is that the vast
majority of consumers have no idea of what is being done to their food
and will only start to excercise pressure when something goes badly
wrong like the BSE crisis; only then will the politicians do something
(because they want to stay in power) and the multinational corps will
change (because they see their almighty dollar disappearing when the
people refuse to buy their product).  in the meantime those who are
concerned have to spread the word; i feel there is a strong undercurrent
of concern, allied to a sense of powerlessness - i think this is shown
in the increasing interest in green issues, local communities, LETS
groups etc; change will come from the bottom.  keep up the good work
regards   
cmb
