Oh oh..... here I go again. Bursting people's bubble.
The term ORGANIC on a product means almost nothing. Over 35% of Monsanto's products are "Certified Organic".
If anyone is really interested and likes to read 100's of pages of Gov regs, you can go here...
http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usda/usdahome?contentidonly=true&contentid=organic-agriculture.html and read about the 5 steps to being "Certified Organic".
First of all, just because it says ORGANIC on the front of the package doesn't mean it's 100% organic. In order to qualify for the "Organic" seal you only need a certain percent of organic material in the overall mix.
So, even when it says Organic, you could (and probably are) getting a certain percentage of non-organic products.
And, to even earn the "Certified" seal, as a farmer all you need to do is plant a couple trees on your land and let your cows out for 5 minutes a day. LOL
Here is the USDA requirement for "Certified Food".
Organic crops. The USDA organic seal verifies that irradiation, sewage sludge, synthetic fertilizers, prohibited pesticides, and genetically modified organisms were not used.
So, organic foods are not watered with sewage sludge ( guess that's good. LOL). I have to wonder if ROUNDUP is on the list of Prohibited Pesticides. That leaves a lot of open space. LOL
I have a friend who is a farmer and when she got "Certified Organic: she said it was a joke.
"Organic" is an advertising term designed to make money. It has very little to do with the end product or the food you actually end up eating.
Here is a quote directly from the USDA web site that encourages farmers to apply for the "Organic Certification" LMAO
Over 25,000 farmers, ranchers and other businesses get many benefits from USDA organic certification. Many receive premium prices for their products through the growing $35 billion U.S. organic retail market. Most operations that grow, handle, or process organic products-and want to call their products organic-must be certified.
The world is one giant falsehood. Everybody lies. It's all to make money. Believe nothing.
Sad but true.
So much for "Organic" vs "Monsanto". Turns out they are both the same. LMAO
