Paying more for organic food? The industry says customers are being ripped off

abc.net.au/news/organics-regulation-needs-tightening-consumers-being-misled/102110460Business owners say consumers paying premiums for organic products are being ripped off because of a lack of national standards.

"If you ask for an organic product in the US or in Germany, you'll get a certified organic product … we don't have that definition here," she said.Regulation needed to stop greenwashing "We're mums and dads … a lot of the organic growers are family businesses and we're just trying to make a go of making a business that provides quality products here in Australia," she said.

Mr Kennedy said it was hard to quantify the cost to his business because it was a lost-opportunity cost.

“Organic” is a misnomer anyway. It makes me laugh when gardening experts talk about applying inorganic fertiliser then in the next breath talk about that being organic. It’s a word that has been taken away from its proper meaning - just like “they” is used in the singular now.

It is not going to lengthen our lives so why pay more for something when the price is double.

We always suspected this..

one start would be to just say no to genetic slicing and dicing of plants! Following by letting patches of land to lay follow at different times! crop rotation and then there are the animals and their induction! similar things are used for the wildlife. Soil and water heath!

We are being Ripped off with all food,Full Stop!

ABC are you trying to convince people to eat the glysophate riddled shit instead of actual real food?
