Right. The big problem the organic movement has had is the various factions
can never seem to agree on anything. Seems as if each thinks his way is the
right one, and they can never reach a consensus. This is why the term falls
into the same category as "natural". It can mean just about anything you
want it to, hence it becomes meaningless
