As I discussed in Part 1, many Americans have begun to seek “authenticity” in many aspects of their lives. There’s nothing wrong with that unless in the process they are misled by special interests’ false claims that cause them to be endangered or merely ripped off. Arguably, the most pervasive hoax in this country, dwarfing phone and internet scams, is the widespread rejection of “industrial,” conventional farming in favor of more “natural,” “organic,” and "sustainable" offerings at your local supermarket. The definition of “organic” is a movable feast, with the organic industry and government constantly tweaking its practices. The products and practices that define it are completely arbitrary, with no scientific basis; “organic” is nothing more than agricultural and nutritional mumbo jumbo, the goal of which is to fleece consumers. It does this remarkably well – to the tune of over $50 billion worth of overpriced products annually in the U.S.
