Discussion of The Term 'organic'
There used to be a distinction between the term "organic" and the term "pesticide-free". Organic simply dealt with the use of fertilizer types. Once the term "organic" became regulated, many other factors were added. "Pesticide-free" is not at all related to fertilization (plant nutrition), but has become a legal inclusion. In scientific terms, organic compounds are any chemical compounds that include carbon, regardless of their source.
Likewise, in scientific terms, a fish emulsion can be a good organic fertilizer, but in some jurisdictions{{like Oregon|date=November 2010}} fish emulsion must be certified "dolphin-safe" to be considered "organic".

Famous quotes containing the words discussion of, discussion and/or term:
“What chiefly distinguishes the daily press of the United States from the press of all other countries is not its lack of truthfulness or even its lack of dignity and honor, for these deficiencies are common to the newspapers everywhere, but its incurable fear of ideas, its constant effort to evade the discussion of fundamentals by translating all issues into a few elemental fears, its incessant reduction of all reflection to mere emotion. It is, in the true sense, never well-informed.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Power is action; the electoral principle is discussion. No political action is possible when discussion is permanently established.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“Why did you give no hint that night
That quickly after the morrow’s dawn,
And calmly, as if indifferent quite,
You would close your term here, up and be gone”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
