Why do so Many people think that "Oragnic" food is the better to eat?!


Question:

Why do so Many people think that "Oragnic" food is the better to eat?

Organic Means that the object contains Carbon.
ALL food contains Carbon.
ALL food is Organic.
Organic is a Chemistry Term.
All Hydro Carbons are Organic.
All Oils and Alchohols are Hydro Carbons
So Based on Consumer hype
Since Organic Things are Good to Eat
And all Oils are Hydro-Carbons
And all Hydro-Carbons are Organic
Therefore Motor Oil is Organic
Therefore it is Good to eat
Therefore you can Pour it on your Salad as a dressing.

So why All the hype on a misleading term?


Answers:
The new organic standard offers a national definition for the term "organic." It details the methods, practices and substances that can be used in producing and handling organic crops and livestock, as well as processed products. It establishes clear organic labeling criteria, and specifically prohibits the use of genetic engineering methods, ionizing radiation, and sewage sludge for fertilization.

All agricultural products labeled organic must originate from farms or handling operations certified by a state or private agency accredited by USDA. Farms and handling operations that sell less than $5,000 worth per year of organic agricultural products are exempt from certification. Farmers and handlers have 18 months to comply with the national standards.

I think a lot of consumers assume that organic means it is pesticide and chemical free. That is why you want to look for some type of certified organic seal from the USDA, this insures that it is truely organic in the sense of what consumers are looking for in their food products. Otherwise, it is just a term as you have said and anyone could put it on their product.

Alert! Words can have more than one meaning.
"Organic" is the word you are looking for. Look it up.

because when showed on television it makes people think that organic foods are fresh, no insecticide, clean

Your just a free thinker... unlike foolish people who just follow with out thinking because other people tell them.
Your wrong about motor oil.
That is stupid.

I dont know, I just buy the organic milk because it last weeks longer than regular milk and im not a big milk drinker. Organic stuff is also very expensive.
