Do you believe that organic food is really organic in America or just another marketing ploy?

Organic is just a way of bumping up the price. If I cannot follow the process of How the crop is grown, it is just a waste of money.

Its a marketing scam.

I believe that it's grown differently. It's not that difficult to grow produce using natural fertilizers and insects can be controlled other ways.

Most people probably don't even know what organic means so who cares

Some organic food is truly organic and some is not, And some produce that states it is organic is not as important as other produce -- Such as Organic berries is more important that lets say organic melon (because of the melon's thick skin)

Same concept as when the lite beer craze started - pay more for less never made any sense to me.

Both. I think in basic single-food ingredients (produce, meats, dairy, etc.) if it says organic it is truly following the rules. Once you get to processed and heavily processed foods, it can be very questionable labeling and definitely just used as a marketing ploy.

Hmm! I think you got it!

Organic food has to follow organic production standards:
