Organic food? Please let me take that out of your list. Organic produce has a huge lot of benefits over industrial, to both the consumer and the environment.

All it takes to qualify for the organic label is a payment to the right industry group.

That’s another thing. That’s organic certification.

You’re fighting for semantics, but the other guy is right here. Organic labeled food and “organic food” can be used interchangeably

Yep. I’m pretty sure. But we have to distinguish “organic input based produce” v/s regenerative agriculture, which is also “organic”. And there’s a huge gray area in between.

All food is organic. Every bit of it is made of carbon building blocks.

That’s another meaning for the word “organic”.

All food is organic. Unless you have a crop like a chicken (you don’t), you really shouldn’t put any inorganic materials in your body.
