Restaurants don’t generally have much incentive to care about the long-term health effects of their food on their customers.

I don’t care if you assume, intuit or deduce.

Once you make a claim or theory, it’s up to you to prove you are correct. Anything else make you a bullshit artist.

You made the claim, prove it.

There are far more uncontrolled and uncontrollable unknowns outdoors than indoors starting with the weather.

I'm sorry/my bad, let me be clearer. Frequently I'll see the Organic stamp on fruit..fair enough. I find that the nation of origin is (insert some country that Trump would call an s-hole). I'd likely buy inorganic fruit from California.

Similarly, I knew a farmer who didn't want to go through the organic cert process but strived to be organic. I did my own due diligence on him and the farm, the meat was good, and everyone thrived physically.

I hope that clears things up. Thank you.

Perhaps not, but if customers prefer organic food in the belief that it is more healthy, restaurants have an incentive to advertise and serve organic. And with indoor farmed produce generally being better looking due to the lack of any insect damage and tightly controlled growing conditions, presentation can be emphasized.

"But today I went up by our pond and it is WAAAAYYYY down. I took advantage of that to clear out some growth that was clogging up around the edges that I normally couldn’t get to because of the water level."

Wait: you have a pond? With approx. 25,000 ppl per mile here the pond is the low spot on the street when it rains. Not complaining though. God where the Lord leads.
