This whole issue has always been a crack up for me. All foods are organic. I let others pay the “label tax”. It makes my food cheaper. The stuff I don’t grow myself, that is.

>>said he concluded that Constant died from carbon monoxide poisoning

Will his body be used for composting?

>>Prosecutors say Constant falsely marketed non-organic corn and soybeans as certified organic on a massive scale. His sales amounted to 7 percent of organic corn grown in the U.S. in 2016 and 8 percent of the organic soybeans. Overall, from 2010 to 2017, he sold more than 11.5 million bushels of grain, or enough to fill 3,600 rail cars, prosecutors said.

What did the people who say they can taste the difference say?

>>Prosecutors had introduced evidence that Constant often traveled to Las Vegas during the scheme, spending money on gambling and women with whom he had sexual relationships.

What does paying to have sex with women have to do with using non-organic feed for chickens and cows that were then sold as organic?

The prosecutors should’ve been rebuked by the judge for the introduction of salacious claims that had no bearing on the crime under trial.

More “organic food” is consumed in the US each year than is produced.

I believe much if not most ‘organic food’ is a fraud.

Actually all food is organic. I mean you’re not eating rocks. Bugs are the hardest thing to get rid of. DDT was the best safest stuff. But of course that Rachel Carson stopped that killing millions (I read billions) with malaria and starvation. It’s what Marxists do.

>>“Randy Constant and his co-conspirators lied to the American public and cheated thousands of consumers,” U.S. Attorney Peter E. Deegan Jr. said. “For years, Constant put personal greed and self-interest above all else.”

Bezos puts personal greed and self-interest above all else

“Big organic foods fraud” fraud. The whole organic foods thing is a scam to separate people who don’t know anything about growing plants from their money.

However my neighbor used to have a small section of his farm growing “organic” vegetables. He thought it was pretty profitable. People from the city paid a lot more.

My experience is those who buy into the whole “organic” scheme are looking for something to worship. “Organic” foods are also much more expensive, but these people pay more because they believe it makes them superior. All foods are organic. I could start a similar scam, and sell bottle water that has the label “Hydropathic Water.” I could charge 70% more and make a fortune from the fools who would buy it.

I don’t agree that it’s a fraud. I buy organic when I can, mainly to avoid pesticide and glycophosphate exposure.

The following is just an anecdotal account, but our personal opinions are often formed from having knowledge about an issue and then having it confirmed personally. My granddaughter underwent some tests recently because the vision in one eye was deteriorating rapidly and her optic nerve in that eye was badly inflamed. Among other things, she tested positive for glycophosphate exposure.

After a month of no grains, eating only organic produce, and goat dairy (and not cow dairy,) she had new eye scans yesterday and her inflammation is almost gone. Don’t what the tests will show as far as chemical levels because that hasn’t been done yet.

But things like pesticides and glycophosphate can’t be good for us.

I grew up working on my uncles farm. I saw how much, and how so often, pesticides were sprayed on the crops. Stuff was nasty.

No thanks.

We grow our own crops organic on our small farm plot for self consumption and we go in with two other families and buy a grass fed cow from a local farmer we know for our meat and we have a friend butcher it.

I used to get organic beef from an Aunt with a ranch in Montana. The cattle were simply free range. The meat was amazibgly tender. Then more recently I’ve bought organic steaks from Sprouts. They were incredibly tough. That’s when I figured that “organic” was a scam. Like with vitamins the conglomerates simply commit fraud with false labelling.
