"Organic" is a seriously nasty vogue word when it comes to the health industry. Can't find the reference now, but at least one bottled water company here in Australia was forced to change its label after calling its water "organic". Just for those who don't know - water is *not* an organic substance. :) Caveat emptor, as usual.

A tomato is a tomato, no matter which way you grow it. I'm glad the word is getting out so we can stop spending $100 on fruits and vegetables. I never got the hype over organic foods.

They had organic carrots and regular ones for half the price. It wasn't so much a matter of cost. More as a result of being a cynic in general. Until I did my due diligence, I couldn't see subsidizing something with my hard earned money that may not in fact be kosher.. in a matter of speaking. It's plain business to meet the bare minimum. "Herbal" remedies are all the rage, but don't have to be approved by the FDA for either health factors or even to see if they really work. It's written right there on the bottle too. Glad to see my thoughts weren't unfounded, I'm gonna dig a little deeper - thanks John :) Just last week I was at the grocery store to buy some carrots for my kids.

How do you know that it is organic? To be frank if really want something organic then i would buy it from my local farm where i can personally go and make sure that its organice. Thats the best way for me Personally, I have never purchased any organic stuff for the same reason. How do you know that it is organic?

I thought all organic producers were pretty legitimate? Wow, I would never have guessed I could be scammed buying organic products. I thought all organic producers were pretty legitimate?
