"empty buildings are converted into vertical farms :)" this is not, in fact, a good thing. Sorry.

Depending on who you ask, some people consider organic produce to be a scam because the scientific consensus on the nutritional quality of organic vs conventionally produced food is marginal, exaggerated, and/or nonsensically marketed. Whether by design to distract from the fact that organic =/= not treated by pesticides, studies show people care more about their personal consumption & health than environmental impact when choosing to purchase organic.

Generally, organic production is simply more costly due to incredibly numerous factors, which is partially reflected in the price. The crucial thing to understand is that organic certification is based on a series of rules for production which function more as regulations rather than a fuzzy warm pastoral social movement of harmony with nature. Also generally, organic pesticides/nutrient additions are exponentially less effective than conventional options so oftentimes conventional produce is significantly higher in quality AND has a smaller carbon footprint due less frequency of tractor/machine applications.

So basically, an organic certification tells you nothing about the quality of production or the produce itself. It *does* tell you something about what chemicals or practices *haven't* been used during production.

Some ag businesses are willing to jump through flaming hoops if it offers them better prices, but they're also willing to whistle and twiddle their thumbs if keeping the organic concept nebulous is more beneficial than being 100% transparent about what collective organic practices are because the nightmare scenario for a lot of organic farms would be the public deciding that current bar is too low because what they're currently doing is already pretty inconvenient to them in a lot of respects. After all, the collective benefit of organic production is a subjective assessment of a series of rules decided by the USDA and a new standard or even new type of federal certification could always develop if the public demands it.

Partially motivated by anticipation, recently some retailers now require farms to have certain private certifications on top of an organic cert and are dropping any supplier who doesn't, just so they can make a juicy marketing claim that ALL their farms are X, Y, and Z certified and a certain chain beloved for their hotdogs comes to mind... providing a convenient symbol on the label calculated for your millisecond glance over waves of packaging: you know these mixed salad greens are woke.

But one thing I gotta say in my personal experience with private certification groups is there's a certain uhhh carelessness to the fidelity of their claims, which is to say they're often a bit off the mark on their actual impact. It's hard to say what level of commitment these entities have imo but i guess I'll always be weary of private groups being the vehicle for social change. Intent = congruent, communication = questionable, impact = clumsy.

Also take me with a grain of salt bc I'm not providing sources on this post, but this is pretty much just my highly educated perspective on the whole organic produce deal which I have studied and worked in. In fact I'd encourage anyone to look into the claims I make because you (or I) might be surprised.

I should also finally disclaim that farmer's market scale production can be a bit of an exception here, but as far as the food supply chain goes, I'd consider them hobbyists rather than an actual contributing factor on the capital M Market. Any yearly profit over $2000 starts getting Legally Tax Annoying so some farmers actively stick to the smallest scale and are more free to prioritize quality. Some traditionally farmer's market scale farms and LLCs break through to DTC programs but to my knowledge it's an unreliable avenue since demand is incredibly unpredictable, plus they aren't always immune from competition from higher scale farms.

So, is organic a scam? Idk. Probably not if you care about specific chemical usage. I think it's evidence that economy of scale doesn't always prevent "better" farm practices, but in order to do so, industries may rely on some mild deception. It's up to you to decide the worth, but personally, me to you: buy what's cheaper or assess which option looks better. The sources often impact the quality more than the certs.

Oh and one last kicker: sometimes produce which is technically organic is sold as conventional if market strategy suits it (better price, market saturation, etc.).

P.S. Also always wash your produce. You don't know who's touched it since it got packed and put on display - but also don't panic over pesticide residue. Some fruits have a thing called bloom which can look like dried white residue but it's an effect of the hair-like non-smooth surface of wax which the fruit produces naturally. It's especially obvious on blueberries and grapes but apples have it too. Rest assured these get hella washed between the field and packing. But just play it safe and wash everything if you can. Okay bye bye now I love you

#i’ve been thinking abt that cringe post #i think the latent feelings behind ‘cringe’ are shame and sometimes envy/bitterness #same vibes as when six year olds say ‘those toys are for babies’ if they’ve been shamed for their age by older kids #anyway. i think part of the healing process is realizing that shame puts you at war with yourself bc part of yourself is a social being!#and that part of you wants community and acceptance (maybe love). shame is the absence of acceptance #unlearning shame means learning self-love and gaining the confidence to find your people #jerma #cw jerma #(someone asked me to tag lol)

“You know,” Lann starts, scarcely acknowledging her, “I think I could tell you were high-born this whole time!” He sing-songs the descriptor. “By my inherent charm and grace?” He pauses his thought to wretch theatrically. Continuing, he explains, “Sometimes, you can tell no one has ever told you ‘no’ before.”

Thank you SO much to the incredible @mossytrashcan for this commission!! I'm totally in love with the way it turned out!
