That does not make the statement correct or true.

As far as "legitimate" it's "legitimate" for someone wanting the extra processing of kosher-certified food to benefit from kosher processing. It's "legitimate" for someone wanting their meat to be halal to buy halal meat. And if someone wants the extra stringency of organic certification and is willing to pay for it, there is a reasonable expectation for such a label.

For the record - I rarely shop at Whole Foods. I buy organic when it's one of a dozen or so different things. But fuck-a-doodle-do - you can buy oscocillococcinum fuckin' everywhere. Singling out Whole Foods simply for also having Tibetan salt crystals is clickbait bullshit.
