    Idk much about this quote, or this dude, of what year this quote is from.

    Here’s what I do know, organic labels do have legal requirements.

    Example: organic meat can only be watered with purified water, not just tap or well water.

    There are chemical usage restrictions, there are requirements against medicines used for livestock, etc.

    It takes years (7?) To get a farm organically certified, and requires soil testing and inspections.

    Thats why you’ll see some people label their shit as “organically raised” because theyre following the guidlines, but they dont have the certifications.

      How long do you need to water your organic meat for, before the cow patties start growing?

      It takes 3 years to get a farm organically certified. This is because it longer than some of the longest lasting synthetic chemistries like Imazamox (26 months).

      with purified water, not just tap or well water.

      This actually gives me pause. Purified, as in distilled and deionized? That’s missing a lot of naturally occuring electrolytes and minerals.
