The inexpensive and widely known cabbage, a close relative of other leafy greens, such as broccoli, lettuce and cauliflower, has long been used as a medicinal plant by ancient civilizations in the past.

Many conventional bug sprays nowadays use DEET, a slightly yellow, oil-based neurotoxic chemical, as their active ingredient.

Nearly a year has passed since the world’s largest seed giant was forced to pay $2.4 million in restitution to farmers in seven states, following the discovery of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready wheat growing in Oregon.

The superior food quality standards placed on organic food in the U.S. are under attack by corporate representatives from Big Agra who have crept their way onto the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB).
