(19,841 posts)and notice the target marketing to young parents with kids. The segment of the population with the most mouths to feed, on shrinking incomes. Of course if you were in that category, you'd want to hear that cheaper chemical-laced foods are just as good for your children as organically grown.
The fact is the children of today are guinea pigs for a host of new chemical toxins and GMOS. GMO corn, soy, and canola are in everything. GMO corn-based propanediol is now used in many so-called "natural" deodorants, patented by Dupont as "Zemea" and touted as safer than petroleum-based products being absorbed directly into the body. Dupont wants to own "natural"--this alone tells you something....

This advertising that tries to paint organic as a bad thing is all over the place. As if the younger generations could be convinced that "organic" is something passe, something their old parents believed in, ads implying that they are smarter not to buy into it. I see a lot of this type of advertising.
