You are certainly correct about what happens in Washington, as a rule.
But my opinion is
that banning Alar was a benefit to the industry, for it stopped the sale
of immature,
inferior apples to the public. Maybe that was not the intent, but it was
the result.

On another topic, the federal law governing organic foods was recently
amended by lobbyists hired by some manufacturers. This will allow
synthetic ingredients to be added to organic-labeled foods.
