Is ”organic” just a marketing ploy? -- breaking down what the USDA Organic label actually means

In this episode, Joey and I discuss the true meaning of "organic." Is the organic label a marketing scheme? Are "organic" foods safer or more nutritious? What are the larger implications of our food choices? How should we practically source our foods if our budget doesn't allow for organic items? We cover all of this and more in this candid discussion surrounding the USDA's Organic label.
