Sometimes. Often. Not always.
For example, there’s supermarkets in my area that have a section of produce set aside for locally-sourced fruit & veg. It’s labeled as ‘organic’. I trust that buying that stuff is generally not a waste of my money.
And there’s mass-market certification programs that have built a greater degree of trust as well, such as Oregon Tilth. I look for products that have well-known rigorous certification when I can.
But as @mister44 says, it’s complicated. Declaring all organic food a ‘scam’ is painfully cynical and untrue.
