Organic
IIRC there is a legally defined set of criteria to call foodstuffs organic. It does mean something, but if has nothing to do with chemistry's definition of organic.
Yeah, there's still legally-defined sets of criteria for how to marry a child in the majority of US states, that's not a good precedent for anything.
That's hardly relevant. All I'm saying is that this label is not a "blatant lie" like this thread calls for, it means something and it's regulated.
It's very relevant, it being codified is the foundation of your argument. Lies can be codified and laws can be ignored. And both often are. Sure it's not a traditional lie, it's more like a lie of implication. Like labeling your product "0% poison" and running a big ad campaign about how your competitors don't say their products are poison-free. Just pick a different word that doesn't already apply to all food.
Paedophilia is the new Hitler of Godwin's law.
Hitler's dead.
I hate the use of this term by the food industry. Bitch it's all organic.
Except for the salt.
