Default Hijacked Organic

Just confirming what we already knew, but it's concerning all the
same.

Here's part of the text:

With the rise of industrial organic, these more revolutionary impulses
have disappeared. Corporations have adopted practices that make a
mockery of what people think they are buying when they pay extra for
an eco-friendly label. For one, major organic brands now source from
across the globe. Stonyfield yogurt uses milk from New Zealand,
bananas from Ecuador, and apple products from Turkey. Costco gets
organic peanuts from China, a country not known for rigorous
environmental regulation. And these are not isolated examples.
