Comment on What exactly is Organic? by logical

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.
