I understand what you are saying, but what I don't see why you focus on "organic". Since you appear to lack any evidence that the "organic" part is relevant.

Why are you not focusing on the fact that they are "German" sprouts and not French? Or that they are "sprouts" as opposed to any other veg? Or that the sprouts were sold in "May" rather than in April? Or other factors that you also cited no evidence to consider relevant?

That is the logical disconnect.

Irradiating food - I don't have a strong opinion for or against. I think it might be better to grow/process/handle food in a way that minimizes contamination in the first place, but I haven't really looked into it.
