Cornucopia Institute: More Black Marketing Shenanigans from the Organic Dairy Industry?
Non-profit group with undisclosed industry ties attacks Horizon Organic and competing organic dairies.
Churchville, VA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) March 18, 2005 -- News articles and television broadcasts appearing
across the globe have recently profiled a rift within the multi-billion dollar
organic milk industry placing industry leader Horizon Organic on the hot seat.
ABC News and USA Today are among those reporting on attacks by the Cornucopia
Institute, which is described by the news media as a non-profit farm policy
research group based in Wisconsin.
Blogger Alex Avery’s Milk is Milk
blog found at http://www.milkismilk.com/blog.htm exposes holes in the
reporting with missing links that suggest this so-called non-profit farm policy
group has financial and other undisclosed ties to organic dairy industry
interests who are benefiting from the attacks on their competitors. Avery
exposes ties between the Cornucopia Institute and Organic Valley – a $160
million organic industry cooperative based in Wisconsin – which the mainstream
news media failed to report.
Avery is the research director for the
Hudson Institute’s Center for Global Food Issues; his blog addresses marketing
issues in the dairy industry which affect consumers, dairy farmers and
processors. To learn more, visit http://www.milkismilk.com
