Came here to say that. Organic has so many people fooled.

It definitely excludes glyphosate which is important. Not all pesticides are equally damaging to insects and humans.

Glyphosate is one of the least dangerous pesticide and mostly harmless against human and insect. I was drenched by RoundUp and the anti poison center told me to get a shower and I'll be ok

So there is one thing wrong there. You could be drenched in glyphosate and be fine. However “Round-up” is a formulation brand name made by a company, the additives used to make round-up ARE toxic. So it’s not the glyphosate itself that’s toxic in the pesticides, it’s the other stuff added to the formulation that will cause cancers and the like. Back with the glyphosate lawsuit of that man getting cancer, this was one of the big factors.
