I get what you're going for, but not everything is literal. People refer to their computers as "rigs" even though they can't drill for oil.

When people use the word "organic" for food, they're specifically referring to particular certifications, like the National Organic Program in the USA, and foods that are "organically farmed". I agree that the naming isn't ideal, but the word "organic" is very commonly used for this, and therefore it's a legitimate definition of "organic". That's just how language works :)

an agricultural system that uses fertilizers of organic origin such as compost manure, green manure, and bone meal

Guano wars, anyone?

and places emphasis on techniques such as crop rotation and companion planting.

Isn't this a thing everyone always does? Isn't monoculture turns soil into shit?


Maybe. I'm just tired of seeing "GMO-free" soda kind of idiocy.
