Just like many other beaurocratic stuff, it is complicated, with several language rules, so that organic means one thing, certified organic means another, the country source changes the rules, and with a variety of labelling rules, that consumers need to know if they care. It also changes daily, so diligence is required, on an ongoing basis. You might also be consuming some toxic food additive that is made from organic stuff, but is bad for you no matter what. If you want to learn about it, the following website is very good. It used to be that eating organic meant eating healthy, now with the big corporations wanting a part of the market, the rules have been solidified, but it no longer means healthy. The big corporations have gotten the rules slackened as much as they humanly can, and will continue to push their influence.
