When it comes to the missconceptions, and outright hoax regarding "organics", or "climate change", you and I won't find much to disagree upon. I have never seen an inorganic apple either.
From what I can see, the UK soil association is much different from ours. I think any of us would be on the right track by farming a species in this case sheep- that promotes wise husbandry and land conservation. That has pretty much become more than just a fashion now because....it works so well! I have no trouble recognizing and supporting the fact that certain species are better farmed on certain land types. For grazing animals, this usually means sheep, goats, or bison rather than cattle. As I understand the UK organization, they have extended 'organic' to include this practice.
Like others, I don't agree with the broad and loose "organic" label. Nor do I agree with the other medical and agricultural missnomers, but nobody asked me to come up with a better word or term. (If I ever get diagnosed with prostatic hyperplasia, I am going to ask: "Well, how many prostates do I have?")
I like the fabric, I don't care what anybody else calls it. Now, about all that 100% synthetic wool................
