- Sharlin 7y agoYeah, a couple of nonprofits and an academic institution (the latter of which doesn't appear to have any vested interests related to blueberries). Sure, bias is always possible, but to talk of an "industry" appears to be stretching it.
- therealcamino 7y agoI think you're making too much of the word "industry" and whether organizations are for-profit or not, without addresssing whether those organizations suggest a conflict of interest, which is what "industry" is shorthand for. The Wild Blueberry Association of North America is a trade association, which exists to increase consumption of wild blueberries.
