I havent noticed that much criticism of demeter certification on this list. What gets up my nose and many others is this -[ Biodynamic� ] demeter's trademarking of the word - biodynamic - is indefensible morally, and probably under law, they rely on the idea that they have access to more money and power than any likely challenger, so they get away with it.
 
The statement that the demeter label "is instrumental for the spread of Biodynamic agriculture in the world" is interesting, People and organisations outside of demeter have done more to spread biodynamics in my part of the world in the last five years than demeter did in the previous fifty.  
 
Can't help myself on this - the trademarking of the word biodynamic is morally wrong.
