what is a meme?

yeah.

'cause i've heard the usda doesn't have a real definition of "organic." it's such a loose and meaning term.

everything is a meme

USDA is a meme

Three times I had two half buckets of memes but then they spilled out of my pockets like spaghetti.

>Is organic food a meme?
It costs more for some anemic looking shit.

You don't have to get everything organic, but for some foods it's much preferred. I'll eat organic apples with the peel but if it isn't organic, I'll peel them.

Some farmers won't eat their own potatoes because they have so many pesticides on/in them. If crops are genetically modified (which is not necessarily a bad thing) to resist the chemicals that kill other plants, then farmers can spray even more unhealthy pesticides/herbicides on them, that would normally kill the non-GMO version of that crop. For other produce, such as cabbage, getting them organic is not really necessary, since they are naturally resistant to pests and can grow fine by themselves without pesticides or herbicides.

food assembled by machines and sold in cardboard boxes is a meme

bonus points if it's heated by radiation in a science oven

hippie propaganda. I try not to buy anything labeled as 'organic' or 'non gmo certified'

some farmers don't eat their own potatoes because they don't like potatoes

I've heard organic eggs are better than regulars, but other than that I think you're paying extra for inferior farming practices. Organic is too general of a term like "All natural" and things like organic tomatoes are going to be shit.
