I used to haul truckloads of non-organic corn to a feed mill and they mixed it into cow feed and deliver it to an organic dairy farm. The farm knew it wasnt organic feed but sold their milk as certified organic to an organic processor at almost twice the price as non-organic
@@joaquincortada1483 100% true. I knew the feed truck drivers well who told me that. The farm was buying conventional corn at conventional corn prices, feeding it to "organic" dairy cows and selling the milk as organic milk at organic milk price. The local vet said that same farm had a "hot load" of milk (testing positive for antibiotics and unusable for human consumption) that had to be fed to veal calves. It's a scam
Never bought them unless they were on clearance. I bought organic bananas couple times when regular bananas were gone and they stayed brownish and hard, never ripened. Never got them again after that.
If you only Buy local and know your farmer and Freeze the veggies you need for the winter u won’t need to buy these items in a supermarket. Buy fruits in season at the farmers market. I still have apples purchased at my local Apple orchard which last all winter in the fridge. My berries were frozen from local UPick farms. Not difficult I’d u make local economies a priority and plan ahead!
IF you can even to get them. Also, just because you knows the farmers doesn't means it's nontoxic, non-sprayed "hippie" foods. The only way to be sure is to do it yourself. So you gotta make comprises.
The problem is, what usda calls organic isn't really organic, it's promising to buy their pesticides that they say are OK on organic. Only few family farms grow actually organic like my farm and some others. This is complete bullsh!t
You mean those ones with 50Lbs bags of fertilizers, non-local composts, etc with the label right? Ya, I don't see that of being any better than the "Miracle Gro-ers".
Just hitting a farmer market might be not any better than your larger grocery store. You need to have a plan to make sure you are getting what they are saying.

@@strong40 Oh I believe you. Just saying what these companies are doing is BS
And i thought all along that these were already the rules
There must be clarity and reliability in the labeling.
USDA must step in because some companies just claimed and put signs and labels stated “organic” on the products everywhere nowadays
Worse is imported produce and there's real no way to trace it. Just put an organic label on it, double or triple the price, and there ya go.
About time food be organic more than just in the name
You mean it will actually have to be "organic" ? LOoooL
About TIME right?
And we wondered why obesity hasn’t gone down! 😂😂😂😂
The fkd up thing is, even the “USDA organic” labeling is misleading.
Really is, didn't know it's THAT stekch!
Anything labeled Organic label is a marketing tactic, but its a "shrinkflation" now with already high grocery prices.
Good. “Organic” has always just been a marketing tactic. But I’m sure this will just be used as a reason to raise food prices even more
Better bust out those seed trays, used yogurt cups, etc while you can to beat the ever raising prices of foods you wanna eat right?
Finally. Abolish Whole Foods expensive prices

Good
Prices are about to sky rocket
Already have

grow your own
Indeed, at this point even micro/sprout greens will be "green gold" at this point right?
😮
Child boo
The Biden administration is cracking down on food production.
So labeling products properly is cracking down on food production?
