Just because something is labeled organic or farm raised does not mean it is better. Actually controlled growing without harmful pesticides and man made fertilizers is way better than just calling something organic...





I thought they were one and the same?

From wiki:
* avoidance of most synthetic chemical inputs (e.g. fertilizer, pesticides, antibiotics, food additives, etc), genetically modified organisms, irradiation, and the use of sewage sludge;
* use of farmland that has been free from chemicals for a number of years (often, three or more);
* keeping detailed written production and sales records (audit trail);
* maintaining strict physical separation of organic products from non-certified products;
* undergoing periodic on-site inspections.
