This is the key point Don’t get distracted if author is biased or not...he is making sone goood points.

I was not aware of this..”The USDA, which oversees the foods labeled as “Certified Organic”, states quite clearly on its website about its role in organic, that “Our regulations do not address food safety or nutrition.” Foods labelled “Certified Organic” must adhere to certain rules and regulations but aren’t endowed with any particular nutritional or safety features. However, many consumers believe that the Organic label means the food has superior nutrition and is safer, especially in regard to pesticide residues. This is not true. ”

"However, many consumers believe that the Organic label means ... This is not true."

He is correctly stating that consumers erroneously believe the label means. But the sentence is brilliantly constructed that the final words left me with the sense that it is a statement about organic food, not consumer's misunderstanding of the label:

"... the food has superior nutrition and is safer, especially in regard to pesticide residues. This is not true."

If the label is wrong, how do you know something is actually organic? His point is that it's just a label you can practically slap on anything.

There are certification processes. My family farm did periodic inspections, interviews, and lab tests on soil samples.
