The word “organic” doesn’t offer many guarantees but the marketplace understands there is money to be made by using it.
Just as low-fat does not mean HEALTHY. Look at how much sodium has been added to “low fat” foods to compensate on flavor.
Everything that grows is naturally organic. Anything done intentionally to change how something grows is an intervention regardless of if manure is used for fertilizer, or chemicals are used. As for bees flying anywhere and everywhere collecting pollen, that is impossible to regulate.
Anything done to change the consistency of a natural product can still be called organic as long as nothing is added to enhance flavor, sweetness, or consistency. If honey is reprocessed beyond the comb it is still natural as long as nothing chemical is added.
But there are chemicals in everything man made. What do we expect? It’s the price we pay for progress. The world will never go back to where it was regardless of how mankind intervenes. It’s part of the adaptation of species, otherwise known as evolution. Has mankind become so intelligent that we kill off our species?
Or would an intelligent decision be to stop importing food crap from China and other 3rd world countries if we don’t have complete inspections of every item? This is completely dooable. Regulating where honey bees gather pollen is not.
Once again, idiots are turning to the government to fix another problem of their own making by adding additional potential government failure. Feel any safer yet people??
