This is like with handicraft vs. mass produced items.
It's trivial to make worse handicraft than mass produce, but handicraft makers realize that if they charge N times more they've got to add at least some value. They also focus in areas where it's possible to add value (no handicraft Android phones or Lego bricks).
So when you actually buy some handicraft item/organic food, it is usually different/better quality, not because this is inherent property of the production process, but because the price has to be justified.
- colechristensen 5y agoYou’re assuming “organic” implies some sort of increased manual process, it decidedly does not.
- thriftwy 5y agoIf you're ready to pay more for an "organic" label on top of the same thing, I have a bridge to sell.
