Look deeper, follow the money, and THINK:
"When a reputable-sounding nonprofit organization released a report attacking the organic food industry in April 2014, the group went to great lengths to tout its independence.
"The 30-page report by Academics Review, described as 'a non-profit led by independent academic experts in agriculture and food sciences,' found that consumers were being duped into spending more money for organic food because of deceptive marketing practices by the organic industry.
"Trade press headlines blared: 'Organics exposed!' (Brownfield News) and 'Organic Industry Booming by Deceiving Consumers' (Food Safety Tech News), touting the findings by supposedly independent experts.
"The findings were 'endorsed by an international panel of independent agricultural science, food science, economic and legal experts from respected international institutions,” according to the group’s press release.
"In case the point about independence wasn’t clear, the press release ends on this note: 'Academics Review has no conflicts-of-interest associated with this publication, and all associated costs for which were paid for using our general funds without any specific donor’ influence or direction.'
"What was not mentioned in the report, the news release or on the website: Executives for Monsanto Co., the world’s leading purveyor of agrichemicals and genetically engineered seeds, along with key Monsanto allies, engaged in fund raising for Academics Review, collaborated on strategy and even discussed plans to hide industry funding, according to emails obtained by U.S. Right to Know via state Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests."

INCREASING THE MINIMUM WAGE
DOESN'T CAUSE JOB LOSS
"In April 2011, the month before the first of the three minimum wage increases, 2,273,000 British Columbians were employed. By August 2012 -- 16 months after the first increase, and four months after the full 28 per cent increase had taken effect -- 2,323,000 people were working in the province. Employment didn't fall as a result of the minimum wage increase. More people were working."
“Opponents could still argue that jobs were lost, and the number of people working would have been even higher if the minimum wage had stayed at $8. But not credibly. Job growth in B.C. over that period was 2.2 per cent, compared with a national average of 1.3 per cent. If the CFIB's mid-point projections were to be believed, then employment in B.C. would have increased 5.5 per cent if not for the minimum wage hike -- more than four times the Canadian average. No serious economist would suggest that was realistic. The evidence was that the minimum wage increase had no material effect on employment.”
