Like you said, I would need to see proof. Also the organic rules from one country to another are quite different. I remember reading about the term 'organic' in Comsumer Reports that in this country has very loose guidelines as compared to how strict the Dutch are. I got a feeling they are even looser in Mexico. I would think that now with the organic craze as the new rage here that we have gotten more strict. I know now there has to be a certain area of a buffer zone near a crop to protect from pesticide runoff and polluted water supplies and the land has to be dormant for at least 7 years with no crops or fertilizers used in order to use it for a organic crop.
Hey, I wonder if they still use Paraquat down there... I remember that crazy crap back in the late '70s.
