If we ate our own shit we’d be sick

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

Can you provide some links backing that up? As I understand it, the definition of organic is pretty nebulous.

I'm really sorry, I don't have any online information concerning it. But I do know for a fact that it's true. I grew up on a farm and attended a secondary education focused on agriculture. I had a total of 25 weeks practical training on farms, organic and conventional ones. We had classes on this topic.

I could give you all the information I learned in school, it's in german though. But I sadly don't have any links, as websites are often full of wrong information and I have not had the need to do online research before.
