While walking through the aisles of the supermarket a few days ago I noticed there were a number of items on the shelves that had the word ORGANIC plastered on the side. I considered this bold claim, and decided it was a strange label to put on a food. In high school, they taught me the word “organic” meant living, and that “non-organic” meant….non living. To me the case was clear: lettuce vs. cue-tips… potato chips vs. my driveway. So while staring at a can of “organically certified tomatoes” I wondered if this was simply stating the obvious. Aren’t all tomatoes certifiably … from a tomato plant?
