A fellow MyLot-er found Organic's definition (as seen in your grocer's produce-section) on Google: "Raised without herbicides, pesticides or animal 'bi products' (I think she meant 'by-products')." I wonder how that meaning came about ...
The true sense of the word "Organic" is ... "Instrument" (Organ - that With which one Works, to Do).
I 'Bing'-ed for "the reason why they call such produce 'organic'," but the main thing that found was more like 'the various guidelines they apply to qualify food as "organic."'
Some more-specific 'Bing'-ing (terms like "etymology, produce, organic farming") found a Wikipedia post that revealed the term's original coinage—where the author introduced the term to put that farming-method in contrast with the chemical (not technically 'inorganic,' though people often use that wrong-contrast) farming-methods).

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
