On this I agree with you, lucretia. Anyone can claim something is
"organic". In this instance, slap a label on a can of tomatoes. It's
part of the packaging, a sales tactic. It's not a guarantee.

Even if nb had gone to a farm stand or farmer's market and picked out
tomatoes to chop up for the minestrone, there's no guarantee they are
"organic". Stores usually do charge more for things that are labelled
as such.
