I have never seen a USDA report and don't particularly want to. I'd probably be bored or angry beyond belief. I never said I trusted L.I.F.E. so completely as to not question them. I said "sure looked like" "I don't think" and "they claimed" instead of "it was" "I know" and "they did" precisely because I am not 100% sure of the "facts" presented there just as you are unsure of them. Still, I doubt that someone sat down and dreamed up this report just to blast marshall farms. Has anyone actually contacted the USDA? I dunno, "sure sounds like" whoever wrote that story did or they have a real vivid imagination. Mike * Michael F.
