The history of food labels is really interesting and sad. It’s a classic example of regulatory capture. Even the term “organic” doesn’t come close to what many people think it does. The best most of us can do is find a local farmer or coop you trust, ideally one that practices permaculture, that sells to the public. Unfortunately, that can be a challenge to find and can be prohibitive for those with lower incomes or lack of transportation.

It’s incredibly frustrating. Free-range eggs vs cage-free eggs… companies waging war on soy/almond milk, “cheese products”.
