This is the biggest fucking scam going today...

This is the biggest fucking scam going today. Pay a "government agency" to make sure your food meets imaginary marketing standards set by the companies who produce "organic" foods. Then you get to stick their label on the package and hike your price by 33% or usually much more. Meanwhile, the food itself now has an imaginary magical aura that's exactly the same as if you called it "kosher" or "halal." If your "organic" food dares to touch a spoon or scoop contaminated by non-"organic" food, then the so-called "organic integrity" of your food is lost and your food is no longer magical. Don't believe me, walk into any Whole Foods and look at any of those propaganda posters plastering the walls and every food sign.

Have you ever actually tried organic food? It usually tastes way better than conventional.

>don't believe me?
spotted the 15 year old who just had to do his first report on food

literally, /literally/, everyone knows this. you can't exist in modern society without being bombarded by the fact that "organic" labeling means nothing

this is very common knowledge, but surely you saw a health food promo one time at trader joes and had an autism attack because you've probably been buying anything labeled organic and you're upset because you're genuinely stupid for not informing yourself

Organic bananas have a better earthy taste. Organic Broccoli from the market tastes totally different,sweet,delicious.

Organic milk beats the shit out of non-organic. But blue diamond almond coconut blend is the best and healthiest desu because humans are the only species that drink another animals milk during adulthood desu desu.

>organic milk > non-organic milk
For the most part I think you are imagining it because organic milk is UHT which gives it that cooked taste (because it is). But it depends on the brand. If you mean Organic Valley, I’d say you are imagining it and the difference is either nil or virtually undetectable (apart from cooked taste). If you mean a small, local Jersey cow dairy with non-homogenized, grass-fed, regular pasteurized, whole milk - that stuff is rich and amazing. Expensive as hell, but delicious. It takes some getting used to though because it has an earthy flavor that was initially off-putting.

>Have you ever actually tried organic food? It usually tastes way better than conventional.
Blind taste tests consistently prove that people can't distinguish "normal" and "organic" food by taste alone. In other words, you're full of shit.

With regard to the flavor of vegetables freshness will be the most important factor. Now, it so happens that many small local farmers in some areas focus on growing organic and sell at farmers markets where it will be fresher than groceries. Ironically, they very possibly won't carry the USDA certification because it can be expensive to get. Furthermore, the USDA certification requirements were written by big-agri so they could keep a finger in the organic pie while continuing the same scorched earth monoculture they use for conventional crops. The "organic" produce in major groceries have usually sat in warehouses the same length of time as the conventional and with a corresponding drop in nutrients and flavor.

Why did the government even start making organic food, so fucking stupid.

pesticide food is for the proles, user.

I bought Amish eggs because I didn't want to support hipsters.

They taste the same. I ate it raw on rice.
I guess chickens really don't care very much about how they live

>Crooked liberals come up with bullshit pseudoscience to scam people out of money and then pay off the government to enforce it
Wow, color me surprised

You're right user.
Also it's totally unfair how she lost the election to that Cheeto Nazi.

>In other words, you're full of shit.
Nah he's not. It depends on the food. Not every organic counterpart is going to taste better, but certain ones definitely do. Pic related for example. Get a can of these and then a can of the regular ones and tell me the organic isn't superior.

do you not think that the wealthy are entitled to superior produce? what are you, a communist?

Oooh, and he jumps straight to the deflection. Looks like I got pretty close to the bullseye.

>the common man as a taste tester
Your average joe can't taste the difference between shit and chocolate.

...

Yeah and most people have shitty palates

This.

Plebs can eat their soy and corn snacks grown on monoculture soil that has no nutritional value.


Though, the best organic farmers I know do not get any type of certification. And I know a ton of farmers who just pay off their local USDA certifying body and use myclobutanil/other pretty bad pesticides. So basically, just know where your fucking food is coming from you retards.

>Crooked liberals
Lmao I'm a fascist, but it doesn't seem like you know who runs the USDA--Monsanto and DOW are not liberal.

>come up with bullshit pseudoscience
Are you referring to the science of the USDA organic certification yourself, or the foundations of organic+permaculture that objectively produce better products that have more nutritional value? The former is definitely flawed and tricks people into not looking further into where their food comes from.

>to scam people out of money and then pay off the government to enforce it
It was moreso started by the government, but ok... what do you suggest?

nice bait

>I'm a fascist

>I'm totally not a liberal, but aren't those big corporations just so terrible, bro? I mean you can still be a total fascist like me and still enjoy premium organic produce man. Ha ha, liberals are so bad. Amirite?

Slapping organic on rotting fruits and discolored veggies is the way companies sell off their old shit because no one expects organic produce to look good

Humans are also the only animal that's drives cars and flies planes. What's your point?

Organic isn't inherently better but higher quality ingredients tend to be organic, so a lot of what I buy is organic. But when there is an organic and non-organic option provided by the same (premium) company / farm / whatever, I always go for the non-organic option, because then the only difference usually really is whether synthetic pesticides were used (which I don't care about at all).

Whole Foods doesn't push organic on you and offers non-organic options for lots of things, they just only carry organic produce and use the word "organic" everywhere because they know that's what the people who shop there want. I'd hardly call accurately labeling something 'propaganda'.

I agree. The only stuff to me that makes a difference when it's organic are eggs and dairy. You can literally see the difference in color between organic and non organic eggs

that's just bleached vs unbleached eggs. You can get unbleached but not organic eggs, too.

I meant to say the yolk, I'm dumb. The super cheap industrial eggs have an almost neon yellow yolk while the organic or local ones I get are deeper yellow, almost orange sometimes.

I didn't limit the criticism to corporations and left wingers, so I'm guessing you didn't read all of the post?

More suitable for libertarians on this issue

>More suitable for libertarians on this issue

There's a vast difference between individual libertarianism and the current incarnation of giving free reign to corporations to impact the health and happiness of "free" individuals. Hence, the buying off of a whore congress by lobbyists for big agri/chemical to distort even the idea (organic permaculture vs. scorched earth monoculture). Yep, get used to people struggling against corporate fascism because it impacts individusl liberty in a huge way.

No difference retard
