That’s right, organic doesn’t necessarily mean healthier. But it definitely means that it was farmed with more sustainable practices, and that’s why it’s expensive.
USDA, there’s an entire process and it’s intensive. I once took a permaculture workshop, though organic was not the focus it came up a lot. If I remember correctly, for instance, the entire topsoil of your farm has to be replaced.
No…just no. Most organic food is wasted because it’s not resistant to a lot of the stuff GMO foods are. It also usually uses more resources to grow, and most nasty pesticides that are “organic” to keep that label. It’s literally the anti-vaccine crowd just with food…

Hormones and antibiotics are one thing, but there won’t be any sustaining the ever growing human population without GMO.
But labeling something as non-GMO tells me a lot about the product. Like I should probably avoid it and look at other options.
That’s what the ‘organic’ and ‘naturally cured’ labels do too. They’re very handy.
In rest of the world if company farms unsustainably it either will go bankrupt or regulator will make them bankrupt.
Does it? Who’s the certifying authority?

Welp…I guess I was wrong. But I think the truth is closer to something in the middle. I do know the organic certification is an intensive process.
