My question to Janic follows: "ORGANIC" fruits and vegetables sold in conventional supermarkets, are they recommendable or does it hardly change from other products (apart from the fact that the pesticides used are biodegradable)?
Difficult to assert because some supermarkets supply themselves with fresh local products which degrade less quickly than those (true or false organic) which pass through the cold chains and transport over a few times long distances.
So for fresh products, it's better than industrial products from agrochemicals anyway.
For processed products, this is more nebulous since no legislation allows the tracing of the various components. The indicated components allow, a little, to make the distinction.
If not, is it still a "better" compared to unregulated production (ie with approved pesticides) a better for consumers and why?
see above !
Because even if we are going to get our supplies directly from "ORGANIC" producers who produce mass production, what more will we have?
Compare how it is grown and what it is used for (what an honest farmer will say)
After some are affiliated with organizations (more than organic as Did says and which serve as a deposit).
There I am in the process of listing all the "BIO" producers who are in my area, but what is the point if they have an intensive model production similar to that of the "non-organic" model, to which we have no only substitute the type of products with which they are sprayed ...
If they stick to the organic specifications (even official) it gives the almost certainty of not using synthetic products. For more information, contact the producers because, in market gardening, the areas usable by each market gardener remain limited. The fact remains that, theoretically, an intensive model (according to which particular criteria) will end up as before by exhausting the soil.
I fear that the "BIO" pushes us to launch ourselves in the production of food products, which is a shame since the development of "BIO" products had to assume the opposite ... We are swimming in the middle of a paradox.
Going into agriculture, organic or not, requires skills and experience, but gardening is still possible, in any case outside large cities (large food areas should be limited to these)
Do people care about politics and its ideologies when buying a pair of shoes, a fridge or a toothbrush?
And we find that in the "BIO" which is "non-BiO-virtuous" and 99,9999% do not care ...
In a way, it's true *! But not out of indifference, but rather out of ignorance in those who want to get started, even partially, with ORGANIC (like homeopathy or any other “alternative” and alternative medicine) because they are fed up with scandals over the food products they are paying for in terms of health such as drugs and vaccines that poison their users.
It takes time to make the shift to better food (even recovered by supermarkets)
At the same time the more the demand increases, the more the risks of poor quality follow it, but we have to deal with it. For the most demanding, there are specialized stores, where generally the products are of better quality.
* in the same way the vegans also do not care to know if it is political or not, their research is done on the products, not on political ideologies. (for those who are interested in reality, and not a vision purely media, just register on the forums dedicated VG and to read there what is very far from what Sen no sen writes.)
