So, non-organic food is inorganic?

[Trod Upon]

I always thought the way to tell if produce is organic was to be sure it is small, pest damaged, and swarming with e-coli from all the s*** they dump on the fields. It should also cost 2 to 3 times more than the nicer looking and nutritionally identical produce grown with modern agricultural practices.

I recently went to a lecture on grape/vineyard production and someone asked a question about organic.
The guy giving the lecture said “organic” is just a label to make the consumer feel good, and that’s it.
He went on to say that food production in the US is so tightly control there is nothing that is not technically organic but most people don’t want to go through the process of applying for the certificate because it cost so much.
So that’s one/his opinion, I am not a farmer so I can’t say for sure but it sounded reasonable.

Fools eat organic. And free range and whatever else. Fools.

Getting fleeced by the faux ‘Organic Grocer’?...Yeah, there’s an app for that..

Uh, unless you eat rocks, your food is organic.

Most all food is organic. Besides sodium chloride and water, what common food substance is not organic?

[SeaHawkFan]

All food is organic; the stuff fertilized with shit is just more expensive and more likely to kill you.

McCobb also made an interesting point about what the market for such a device says about some people's inclinations to exploit the organic food movement: "It really sucks that we need to spend so much money and time to protect ourselves from liars and people that are trying to scavenge on our movement."
