organic - whatever

People think that I sneer @ organic foods and often I do. I object to the fact that the certification is only available to those who have enough money to pay for it regardless (there have been far to many scams revealed) of whether their produce is actually 'organic' in terms of being ethically produced.
I was at a chicken farm where the children told me that they had to have pet chickens so that the farm could sell the eggs for more. This is according to the little charmer is because the amount of space is worked out over a % basis. So three chickens that can go all over the farm mean that all the chickens have more space and are therefore free range!
Practically speaking truly free range eggs are a pain in the backside, if you've ever been anywhere with free range chickens you have to look far, wide and in the strangest places to collect the eggs - not practical on a commercial farm.
I also object to the word organic being changed/adapted from:

1. noting or pertaining to a class of chemical compounds that formerly comprised only those existing in or derived from plants or animals, but that now includes all other compounds of carbon.

2. characteristic of, pertaining to, or derived from living organisms:

organic remains found in rocks.

to meaning 'ethically produced. 

Face it torture meat and eggs (as many of my vegan friends like to call 'non organic' meat and eggs) are also organic. 

So often if people ask me if the food they are eating is organic I say 

"Of course. I wouldn't use anything else" by which I mean that I wouldn't eat a non carbon based life form!

More important to me than an 'organic' cerrification is ethical production or consideration. Like getting your products/produce from a local source working on a small, non or less commercial scale or even from a company.group who pay they workers a living wage.
