Three cheers for organic foods

Managers and workers of Costco, Safeway, Vim ‘N Vigor, HealthGo Market, and all other Kauai food establishments who promote “USDA Organic” and “Non-GMO Project Verified” food labels should get medals of honor. Why? There are unanticipated consequences of chemicals, called “off-target” outcomes. For example: red-tailed hawks. These birds are victims of “second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides” like Warfarin, used by exterminators, farmers and homeowners. Warfarin is used to kill mice. Then birds eat the dead mice and die from uncloted blood from the warfarin coming from inside the mice.
