Just found this PW .Got yourself a real can of worms here .
Some people will say nothing at all - organic is organic and green is green.

I would argue that organic and green are tied to each other and one effects the other.Why eat organic food that has been grown without chemicals but has to be flown round the world using petrochemicals poluting the air ? To me this kind of person is just using the organic label as a fashion statement.

I suggested in another thread that organic food that used nuclear fuel wasn't really organic to which I think you (PW) replied that at least it didn't produce carbon emissions.Fair enough but what about the toxic waste?

I guess what Im trying to say is that the complete process from seed to plate should be as completly friendly to the world as posssible.Its easy to pick out the parts that suit your choices but sometimes you have to dig a little deeper and examine what else is affecting the choices you make and how they sit with each other.
