Just eat red meats, chicken, fish, raw cheese, raw butter, raw honey, raw milk, some fruits (not all), some veggies (not all), and use beef tallow or ghee... that's as "organic" as one could get.

I am in NY, Raw doesn't exist. LOL. I used to find Organic coconut milk by Calefia Farms - however you spell it - it was CLEAN Ingredients, no gums, and now they don't make it anymore.

We interviewed Mark McAfee, the owner of RAW Farms, and he has been selected as the advocate for raw milk by RFK Jr. I can imagine in the not too distant future, raw milk being accessible to all.

I will try it as it becomes available. I learned about pasteurized and ultra pasteurized... One is worse than the other.... Pick your poison if you like milk in your tea.

Here is a good [Article](https://www.cato.org/regulation/spring-2016/usdas-meaningless-organic-label#:~:text=Those%20questionable%20choices%20are%20encouraged,of%20the%20organic%20agriculture%20deception.). Unfortunately 'organic' is one of those terms that has been destroyed by government regulation. The usda is corrupt and the certified organic sticker is basically a cool sticker that rich major food producers can purchase from the government to justify charging higher prices. Organic is supposed to mean grown naturally without pesticides, especially synthetic pesticides(no roundup). However the usda makes exceptions for certain foods and companies to allow said pesticides to still be labelled organic. Much like 'grass fed' beef can just mean the cows were fed grass for the last 2 weeks of their life. Some organic food is grown with pesticides then before harvesting they stop spraying pesticides and call it organic. Another reason we need better laws to keep corporate interests out of government.

I agree. "Organic" labeling is all a product of marketing.

"Organic" has become yet another grift left, right, and center. A better way to shop food at the supermarket is to reduce the number of isles / areas where purchases come from.

This is a clear explanation. It's always good to read the labels of products, and understand what each is, and my rule of thumb is, if you can't pronounce it, it's probably not good for you.

Sadly Asian products also contain high fructose corn syrup and seed oils.

It is very confusing.... The bottom line, read the labels. Some are legitimate organic, and then some have "Organic Canola Oil"

Processed food made with organic ingredients is still processed food.
