If you'd been around when "organic" was a movement - of people with a passion for 'clean living' you'd have grounds for a qualified opinion as to what be "false" or true... because you would have been able to watch as the standards COLLAPSED thru each decade.

And while I sure wish you the best in your quest for better health, it's acutely ironic for veterans of what would become the "organic industry" to see the generations that followed giving naive nod to a logo that - in the latter part of the 25 year journey - became a joke to those in the know.

USDA ORGANIC had already - more than two decades ago - become as hollow a logo as "all natural ingredients" on a box. Old timers who remember the real players - like OCIA - knew how tough it was to get a real certification. Those days are gone, no matter how some may resent being told the truth.
