The Wild Gill Netters Organic Lie - Alaska's Fisheries

The Wild Organic Lie
Some would like to redefine the word "organic" for Alaskan seafood.
As far as I know the word organic means that the producer of the product controlled the environment.
The products which were raised in that environment are guaranteed to be free of the many
contaminations nomally found in other products.
Claiming that a free roaming salmon is "organic" says that you have in fact controlled that salmons
environment and therefore can guarantee it to be free of pollution.
We all know there is no way to do this short of a fish farm.

To make this wild = organic claim a person must create a new defination for the word "organic".
This defination would mean that there are no requirements for determining what an organic product is.
This new defination would allow you to stamp the word organic on anything from a wild, mercury laced,
Lake Erie fish to your neighbor's cat just because both were WILD .
Does the term "wild" make it "organic"?
Removing current organic standards would also remove higher organic market prices.
Redefining of the word "organic" would infact be a lie.
It comes down to, lieing to make a dollar.
Is the money worth "the wild organic lie" ?
