I just didn’t want you or anyone to think that the organic label ensured safety.
I only found out about so called ‘organic’ food from China last week myself.
I agree with you, much organic is coming also from Mexico also and probably other places.
In my opinion, organic filled the desire to have quality food in our country.
I really don’t think most people really care about the organic piece of it.
What they really want is food that tastes good that they know is safe.
Organic food does not necessarily taste any better than certain types of non-organic food.
You can raise the very best food and use minimal amounts herbicides and pesticides.
Those minimal amounts are very helpful and have no impact on the environment.
Most consumers don’t realize that organic food can be very hard on the environment.
As in needing much soil cultivation (which can cause wind and water soil erosion) to keep the weed pressure down.
