Hypocrisy Group- Clean writing, and you effectively state the problem. However, I'd like to have a few more examples of this hypocrisy (Wal-Mart, Kraft, P&G, come to mind). Some of the tactics these corps use could really contribute to the entertaining aspect of your post, as often, their methods and claims are so ridiculous that they are unintentionally funny. Also, many organic farms and farmers are often forced to transport organic manure/fertilizer to their farms in order to maintain organic certification without also having to raise livestock - a method that can be detrimental to sustainability. There is an interesting article on this at Mother Jones.com (http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2009/02/spoiled-organic-and-local-so-2008). It may be helpful.
