what i said is true. i did not say anything about "Wild Oats". so how would i know what is there?
i frequently shop at Whole Foods (east side of Seattle) and i have made it a point to look for this label. i have never seen it. i am not saying that it does not exist in the store on some products, i am just saying that it is not found on what i believe to be the majority of products in the store.
i did however see "organic", "organically grown", "organically produced" etc. plastered all over everything with no government label.
for example... i looked over all the fruit and vegetables carefully with my wife after we had this discussion and we both agreed that there was no government label on anything we saw. Fruit for example, just had a small sticker saying "organic".
my only point was that everyone at the end of the day is free to use the word organic and it does not necessarily have to mean anything. its not a guarantee of how it was produced, grown or processed and there are no laws (federal or state as far as i read) governing/restricting its use.
