    I don’t think everyone sat down and agreed to that being what plus means. It’s like labeling food as organic, it means nothing. It’s just a name. Odd thing to obsess over, you’ll get nowhere trying to understand marketing people, just let it go.

    What they are adding is a more condensed experience accessing NASA content and making it easier for casual viewers to access. The more people paying attention to science the better. I think this is a fantastic move from NASA

        Compared to the standards for organic in civilized countries, that’s basically nothing.

          I like how confident you are about your answer.

          However, perusing the USDA website one comes across this set of “strongly” worded guidelines:

          “Can a product be labeled “organic” without being certified? If you make a product and want to claim that it or its ingredients are organic, your final product probably needs to be certified.”

          “If you are not certified, you must not make any organic claim on the principal display panel or use the USDA organic seal anywhere on the package. (see exemption below)”

          “You may only, on the information panel, identify the certified organic ingredients as organic and the percentage of organic ingredients.”

          Apparently, if a company does mislabel its products, it is liable to be prosecuted by the Federal trade commission.

            If you make a product and want to claim that it or its ingredients are organic, your final product probably needs to be certified.

            That word probably exists in the same article you originally linked.

            But many actually don’t do it which is why they don’t use the USDA certified

        You realize I can slap the word organic on anything, and it isn’t using the certified organic label… right? Want some “organic ATX motherboards?” I gotchu.
