OK Fiji, Maybe you don't know what you're talking about and don't know who to trust, but you shouldn't extrapolate it to all lay people.  Regarding the meaning of "organic," the National Organic Standard (NOS) is a federal regulation created by the USDA and administered by the National Organic Program. The USDA Organic Seal and the QAI Seal both stand for assurance that a product on which those seals appear has been verified as certified organic in compliance with the strict USDA federal regulations for organic.
