I've come to a single conclusion regarding organic food, based on what I see first hand.

It's a scam.

A way to use harsher poisons and fertilizers, and to charge consumers incrdible markups on the price.

Just today I saw a HALF gallon of milk, organic, and the price was $5.

HALF gallon! Not a full gallon!

To label food "organic" is absurd in the 1st place. God I hope it's organic!

Clearly, this unethical form of marketing has cowed many among us. It's not wrong to give them information that shows that there is no benefit to spending more on organic food.

They spread all sorts of woo about "raw milk."

"It's better for you!"
"More nutritious!"
"Reports about disease in unpasteurized milk are from Big Dairy shills!"

The "raw milk" anecdote people never mention those who keep getting sick from it, though.
Gee, I wonder why?
