That farmer is lying and if he is labeling it organic and uses synthetic pesticides, fungicides etc, he is doing it illegally. Not only produce needs to be chemical free the soil has to be "organic " too for produce to get an organic label.
Also, there are many natural ways to control pests and molds, so organic produce does not have to look "ugly" or hole-ridden LOL.
I grew my roses "organic" for many years and they looked fabulous. Unfortunately this year I am using "full on" systemic poisons : ((((, because I have no time nor energy to spend spraying regularly with sulfur, neem and copper : ( every 3 weeks *sigh. Oh well ...

No, he made NO claim to being organic; simply mocked those who thought that anything ‘labeled’ organic was better for them. Many studies have shown comparable nutritional values in head to head comparisons.
None of us want to ingest toxic pesticides/fungicides; but you have to use common sense, wash your produce with soap and water (to dissolve oil based sprays) or peel your produce.
No cruciferous vegetables even require pesticides since their high sulfurophane content is a natural insect repellant - even the bugs won’t eat them!😉

There are countless articles like this; gray areas, nudge-nudge wink-winks, don’t ask don’t tell, etc. What we, the general public, assume to be ‘organic’ ( and all the pastoral goodness that goes with it) may in many instances, NOT be the case.
No one is actually telling LIES; they’re just not telling the whole TRUTH.
