all food is organic by definition only if you are using the chemistry definition. If you are using the agricultural definition (which is the definition used when referring to or discussing organic foods) than only food grown using organic management techniques and is certified by the USDA (in the USA, other parts of the world have other certifying agencies) can be marketed as organic.
How can they charge extra? Because of supply and demand-less than 5% of US cropland is managed organically.
Comments on How can they charge extra for ‘organic’ food when all food by definition is organic?

Organic means there is no chemicals used in the growing or packing/processing.

I’v always thought the same thing. If no chemicals and things are used shouldnt it cost less.
Abbey
