Dr Bronners lawsuit alleges phony "organic" labeling

"Dr. Bronner's accuses these companies, which include Kiss
My Face, Stella McCartney America, Estee Lauder and Hain
Celestial Group, of using petroleum-based ingredients in their
potions. That, according to Dr. Bronner's, means they are
falsely advertising themselves as organic manufacturers."

I find this interesting; in the past I never used many Dr Bronners
products but I have just switched over to preferring their
"Baby Mild Unscented" bar soap over the competition.

They're not CERTIFIED organic. They were certainly free-range
though.

Yup. If they were kept in a barn, the poo problem would be enormous.

Thomas Gold.wrote The Deep Hot Biosphere in 1999. based on the
existence of a biosphere composed of bacteria in the earth's
crust. I think the theory is called albiogenic (?) but bacteria
in a sense range free and couldn't be more organic!

The basis for this claim is finding 1,4-dioxane in
these products, which plaintiffs incorrectly assert
is evidence for petroleum-based ingredients in these
products. However, certain natural raw materials
widely used in cosmetics, such as kaolin clay,
naturally contain 1,4-dioxane.

This lawsuit may mean the end of Dr. Bronner's,
once the countersuits are filed and won. And won
they most surely will be, unless the defendants
leave their defense to idiots.

I don't get it. Is this soap edible?

No, but the legal definition of "organic" is of interest
to foodies.

At least, to this foodie.

But the definition was in regards to petroleum.
