the law "National Organic Foods Act" describes requirements for foods that can be labeled as "USDA ORGANIC" by designated inspectors representing the government - but "organic" foods in stores dont carry that label. There is no limit on the use of the word organic on foods. if you go into a big store like Whole Foods - every apple, pea and almost all foods say "organic", "organically produced" etc.... nothing is certified as "USDA ORGANIC" and the point is that everyone is free to use the word "organic" whenever, and where ever they want to and it has no real meaning.

if i recall,... there are only specific laws about the use of the word "organic" when it applies to labeling pork.

this is how hippies are taken advantage of in stores.
That is simply not true. Most organic products at Wild Oats, for example, are stamped with the green USDA ORGANIC logo.
