The Fastest Wookiee Alive

Excellent little piece that summarizes the situation with organic foods while still providing actionable information.

As someone who works for an organic produce retailer just wanted to point out that even after organic produce reaches the store it must remain 100% separate from conventional items. Different sides of the cooler, different pallets. And on the shelf they cannot touch, they're usually on entirely different display or divided by plastic barriers. If an organic item touches a conventional one it can no longer be sold as organic. We've been known to peel off the produce stickers from OG lemons that fall onto CV apples and sell them with the CV lemons to lessen the loss.
