Organic labeling is good for the consumer. Anyone that would believe what corporations say is an idiot. Their only goal is to make money. Whatever pesticide or chemical that makes them more money they will spray on the produce.
For example, read about methyl bromide and strawberries. The growers kill EVERYTHING in the field by spraying methyl bromide, a poison outlawed by EPA, but with special exemption for strawberries , for someone unknown reason.
The more intelligent we become as consumers, the better produce will be.
