I've become a bit jaded about getting foods labelled "Organic". Plus organic food is damned expensive, which places it in the category of a luxury. I see no evidence that my organic food dollars are doing anything other than lining the pockets of the food distribution industry. Better might be to do everything we can to ensure a well functioning government that is observing the damage to the environment from pesticides and making well reasoned policy adjustments to how those pesticides are approved, used, monitored, and disposed of.
- specialist 8y ago"Organic" labeling is the victim of regulatory capture. eg raise the bar via organic certification, thereby favoring the bigger players. Same as it ever was. I mostly buy bulk and staples (less processed foods). Also favor local, co-ops, and farmers markets. But it's not very practical. I wish I had better options, strategies.
