    I think the word organic gets over used a lot, like “try our organic strawberries”, I’ve never heard of chemical strawberries so what’s the deal?

      Afaik, organic is related to how things are grown and processed. For example, you shouldn’t use the peel from normal lemons as they are treated with fungicide wax that is not exactly healthy. If you buy organic lemons, you can use the peel. But I agree that the term is overused and missunderstood a lot, and blindly trusting that organic foods are healthy does not work

      As I understand, it’s a legal food term in the US. Can’t write it onto your food there, unless you fulfill certain requirements in how it’s produced.
