So I went to a Hannaford’s yesterday to get some foodstuffthings. I was in the section where they have dried japanese marine stuffs like sushi seaweed wrap and stuff like that. On all the marine grass/vegetable/seaweed stuff they stated “certified organic”. I know I’m not 100% up on marine farming practices, but last I checked it would be perhaps an exercise in diminishing returns to… um… fertilize the Pacific Ocean. Considering the abundance of seaweed in, you know, the sea… it would surprise me to find out they had actual marine or brackish kelp farms or something like that. why make artificial environments for something so abundant. and so, why state something is certified organic when it seems *unlikely* that any other variety exists?

    “oh honey look, it says it’s certified organic. and only $8.99! let’s buy three!”

    i imagine it’s easier to harvest when farmed. and it’s localized fertilization.

    bad for the sea, particularly, since it immediately leads to algae blooms and such.

    I’m really crying over it.

    well nothing against the “natural” food store but honestly i think these place are way to over priced just to people can see the sticker/stamp/mark that its organic…it’s food
