In fact Demeter is much more "organic" than stuff with just the EU Bio label, because their rules are way more strikt. I really don´t care if the farmers bury cow horns filled with manure in their fields during a full moon while praising Rudolf Steiner, if their products are simply of better quality than EU Bio label products and why would I?
