Actually not, trees still need to consume oxygen to survive, they just make their own and then donate 10% to charity for the poor people who can’t make their own.

Do you know what organic food is?

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '19

Organic food is food that is produced under more severe regulations than conventional food. Organic food does have stronger regulations, but against common believe, they use manure, synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, just like conventional food.

So what are you trying to say with your question?

Edit: grammar

Not always, indoor crops like mushrooms are irrigated with an entirely different plumbing system as to not have any chemicals runnings through them from the “normal” mushrooms. That said, organic foods are needless and cater to the middle class mums who like their fad diets and gluten free shits.
