Besides which, it’s a straw man. Being nutritious is not the value proposition of organic food.
Yep. “Marketing tool” is a value-neutral description of all labeling schema and does not imply that it’s just meaningless marketing.
This quote is just the Secretary of Agriculture clarifying that organic food isn’t more nutritious and conventional food isn’t poisonous, which is obviously true, important for the Ag Sec to clarify and doesn’t speak to the many benefits to the ecosystem that make organically grown produce important to consumer.
What a daft thing to say. As you well know the term “organic” has different meanings in different contexts, conflating those meanings (deliberately in this case) is illogical.

Words sometimes have multiple meanings.
We’re not talking about chemistry. There’s no need to purposefully misapply the wrong definition for the context.
