I'm just curious about where you got this from. Below is a link on "Organic Matter Recycling Regulations" and it speaks against the practice that you described above.

http://www.qp.gov.bc.ca/statreg/reg/W/WasteMgmt/18_2002.htm

Most specifically, I'm referring to the part in the link where it states the following:

"agricultural waste" means agricultural waste that is subject to the Code made under the Agricultural Waste Control Regulation, B.C. Reg. 131/92, but does not include

(a) human or animal food waste that is diverted from residential, commercial or institutional sources,

(b) waste materials derived from non-agricultural operations, or

(c) wood waste derived from land clearing, construction or demolition;

I believe that part (a) explicitly speaks against what you have stated is a common practice.

Now don't get me wrong; I am not so naive to believe that everything these bureaucratic entities states is the way that it is. But at the same time I want to know what your basis is for making such claims.

Do you have a link, an article, a book, or a report that speaks to this? If so, please share.

What is your source for this? I know that there has been a vicious fight to keep the integrity of the label "organic". Like I said before, I'm not so naive that I believe that everything that they claim is 100% organic (or anything else, for that matter) is actually 100% organic. But to what extent has the majority of "organic" produce been compromised, and what source gives the guidelines for the compromised produce? I'm just curious
