I favor using the word *organic* because it has a clear meaning to
me and my friends who shop and buy organic foods. To us, it
means that the foods (and processes) have been inspected by
knowledgeable people and certified to not contain chemicals
or other substances harmful to my health.
The word means I could, with children, go harvest my own vegetables
(which I have done at my CSA) and munch on carrots while I work
without danger of chemical poisoning.
Organic means all those years of reading Organic Farming and
discussing how to get rid of ants and how to stop aphids at
parties; it also means no one fiddled with my food!
Don't give up that word--it is grand!
