Organic food is a 'deceitful, expensive scam'

[russ_watters]

The "delivery charge" applies to all sales, not just sale items. It's a fuel increase thing, they also raised prime rates.

So...the sale really is a sale and there's no deceit? This is why I'd like an answer/clarification from @Bystander .

As this thread received an Easter resurrection, might as well add this - Sri Lanka actually mandated organic farming, banning artificial fertilizer, with predictable results:

Sri Lanka’s Plunge Into Organic Farming Brings Disaster​

The economically troubled country banned chemical fertilizers without preparing farmers, prompting a surge in food prices and worries about shortages.

maybe Peruvian guano exports will become economical again? Is that considered organic?

It's always the same price. The "deception" is in the presentation/s of the charges; just watch the price/s for Ship of Fools for a little while.

Yes, unless adulterated.

The appeal of organic food has a lot to do with distrust, and with good reason.

Looks like organic farming resurrected the market for peruvian seabird crap, can buy the stuff on Amazon

$90 for 15 pounds, 3x the price of Miracle-Gro

No Chinese slaves harvesting the stuff anymore, just poor Peruvians. The stuff is only a few feet deep, whereas it was over 200 ft high at the start of the industry in the 19th century

True, there's enough unadulterated cr@p in the world.
