I sit on the bus and stare at my shopping. I am a very conscious shopper, all the food is labeled organic. And suddenly I realize: I don't want this anymore! I can't see or hear all this organic rubbish any more!
I want those products that are NOT organic to be labeled and packaged! The way food should be. Why on earth does organic have to be specially labeled?
The other way around would be right in my opinion! Everything that is treated with pesticides, pumped full of additives or genetically modified should be labeled accordingly!
So instead of "organic tomatoes from Austria", please label them "chemically treated tomatoes from Spain"! Instead of the label; "organic eggs from free-range farming" please use the label; "eggs from cage farming"! And instead of the label; "organic-meat" please use the label; "meat-from-animals-that-are-pumped-full-of-antibiotics"
That would change our shopping behavior permanently. From one second to the next!

I don't think this will change our shopping behavior so quickly... Humanity is lazy to change... If Migros were to do this, most people would probably think Migros was joking and not take it seriously...
Unfortunately, I also have the feeling that if Migros were to go through with it, it would be considered a scam... Unfortunately it is the truth!
This very principle has already been applied on the internet (depending on the browser), but I have the impression that they have backtracked a bit:
Since 5/25/2018, website operators are encouraged to equip their sites with the https security protocol. This is now considered "normal". Instead of marking those pages with a security lock that have https, the lock was removed and the pages without, i.e. only with http, were marked as insecure. In the meantime, the insecure pages are still marked as insecure, but the lock for the secure ones seems to have returned. People were probably too insecure when they didn't see a lock.
With organic/non-organic, I'm sure the same uncertainty would spread.
You could start in the Alnatura stores, where everything is organic and the customers know that.
YES, you are right. I have changed this. Because for me personally it is about the content and not about who wrote it... Thank you for your example. I think you might be right
