What does it say about our food system when farmed fish are organic and wild fish are not? As Brooke wrote in her email on this, "Careening toward linguistic absurdity."

My larger thought was not that wild should be labled "organic", because who does know what's present where they choose to be. There seems to be a belief that organic confers goodness to a product. That companies who make an effort to be good should be able to use the term. Each of our ideas of goodness are not the same. For a term such as organic to have a meaning it needs to be specific. It is absurd to use it on wild caught because we have nothing to do their care before harvest. It should be a lable of contents, not a mark of virtue. -b
