I see. I should have just googled it, which I did, and it seems pretty arbitrary. Organic foods are produced by organic farming, which is just not using certain chemicals for various reasons.
Strawberry isn't a molecule. For all I know, the left box lists the names of abundant molecules found in any strawberry. My tapwater is full of dihydrogen monoxide and that doesn't gross me out.
There's "organic" pesticides that are banned because they're so dangerous. And organic farming farmers have a lot of things they're allowed to use, and still be considered organic enough to call themselves organic. I think consumers om general are under-informed about organic food.
That's what a strawberry is actually made of, not what is added to it. But yes organics people, by all means, let's abandon all the scientific progress we've made in agriculture and use land that could have fed thousands to feed dozens.
