The problem with the "woo" definition of organic is that it is not a definition at all. ("Woo" refers to pseudoscientific quackery; it's a term I picked up at one of the science blogs.)
Sometimes, at the store, I notice the term "natural" printed on a package. That's another one I wonder about; I am hard-pressed to imagine *any* product that could be made using non-natural processes. Do manufacturers of "non-natural" products hire wizards and alchemists to make their wares through arcane means?
I do take some comfort in that stores take the effort to specify that some foods are organic. Although why they would make the effort for some produce, but not other produce is a mystery to me. I mean, I already know tree-grown peaches are organic, and that they're organic whether they're labeled that way or not. Furthermore, I can pretty much recognize a non-organic (e.g. ceramic) peach at a glance--I'd probably break my teeth trying to eat it, and I doubt it would taste very appealing. Even some organic peaches would be inedible, if the organic material is wax or plastic...
I’ll have to remember “woo” — there’s a lot of it going around. As soon as I get an opportunity, I’m going to point to some wax or plastic fruit, and call it organic.
