Something scarier than GMOs: Nanotech organic | Food Freedom: "Nanotech organic?

The idea that engineered nanomaterials (involving the manipulation of materials at the molecular level) would be allowed in certified organic food production seems ludicrous on its face. Allowing nanotechnology would seemingly destroy the credibility of the organic label with consumers. Yet, the National Organic Standards Board Materials Committee issued a proposal for public comment recently requesting that the USDA’s National Organic Program hold a symposium on whether nanotechnology in organic production is “possible, practical and legal.”"
