"organic" is one of my favorites. a billion dollar business based on a word that has no legal definition in the US (with the single exception of how it applies to pork i believe), no labeling requirements/standards/explanations and can be put on absolutely everything and sold for more to hippies who "get it".

Meaningless buzz words? What the hell are you talking about?
organic food, food raised without chemicals and processed without additives. Under standards adopted by the U.S. Agriculture Dept. (USDA) in 2000 and fully effective in 2002, synthetic fertilizers and pesticides and antibiotics may not be used in raising organic foods, and the use of irradiation, biotechnology, and sewer-sludge fertilizer is also banned. Food whose ingredients are at least 95% organic by weight may carry the ?USDA ORGANIC? label; products containing only organic ingredients are labeled 100% organic.
The government is after you! lol
