When you go out of your way to buy an apple with an organic logo you take two shortcuts: I prefer organic to non-organic because it helps the big picture, and I know that the label means it’s organic ‘enough’ in my sense of organic. But on both these counts you’re accepting at face value a few heuristics that other people have written for you. Firstly - what even is organic? Secondly, is it really better for you or the bigger picture? Finally, who checks that the label matches the product?
