That's not how it's used in the context of phrases like 'organic foods.'

Where have I expressed any opinion here concerning antibiotics? I was merely trying to correct what I believe to be an inaccurate statement about organic foods.

Please note I did not say anything about organic foods being otherwise better or healthier. I simply did not offer any view on that matter.
