Why grow your own foods organically?

In a recently published article by Organic Consumer's Association [see article here: http://www.organicconsumers.org/bytes/ob423.html], a staff member was arrested during a protest where she was protesting illegally made changes in USDA National Organic Program organic standards. Thus, growing as much of your own foods as possible benefits you, because you just don't know what the government will call 'organic' and 'non-organic' and you can be sure that you will likely disagree with some of their definitions!
