The immaculate deception: Your fish isn't 'organic' - unless you sell it to a fish farmer

摘要

Try to wrap your head around this: You catch a wild sardine off Astoria. You'd like to sell it to your neighbor as "organic," but the law won't allow it. However, if you sell that same sardine to a guy who makes kibble for salmon farms, the food bureaucrats will anoint it (abracadabra!) — "organic." All you need is a little faith, pal. This near-religious transmutation of non-organic seafood into "organic" seafood has been approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Organic Standards Board.
